The Most Beautiful Colorful Selarón Stairs in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil🌈
The Selarón Stairs are not only a work of art but also part of the culture and history of Rio de Janeiro. Here, visitors can experience the local enthusiasm and creativity, and at the same time, discover the stories told by tiles from all over the world✨. 🌟History The stairs were created by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón. He settled in Rio de Janeiro in 1983 and began decorating this staircase that connects the Lapa and Santa Teresa neighborhoods in 1990. The Selarón Stairs are famous for their unique artistic style and rich colors, and are known as one of the "World's Ten Most Amazing Stairs"🏆. 🌟Introduction The stairs use more than 2,000 tiles from over 60 countries, including some hand-painted by Selarón himself. These tiles usually depict the image of a pregnant African woman. This image is considered Selarón's "personal issue", but the specific story is unknown🤔. 🌟Location and Surroundings It is located in the central area of Rio de Janeiro, near the vibrant neighborhoods of Lapa and Santa Teresa📍. These two neighborhoods are famous for their nightlife, bars, restaurants, and clubs. The Santa Teresa area is known for its artistic atmosphere, restaurants, galleries, and beautiful architecture. While visiting the stairs, you can also explore other attractions in these neighborhoods. If you go in the evening, you can also experience the lively local nightlife by the way🌙!
