The 10 Best Architectural Buildings in Centro, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ)
With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Reviewed By AnaKrueger - Houston, United States
One of the most beautiful locations in Rio. Access to the island is via a short bus trip from the visitor center. The old customs island is in a strategic position where you can see the connection of the Guanabara bay to the Atlantic Ocean, also you can see many of the old Portuguese forts, the City of Rio de Janeiro and the city of Niterói. The view is incredible. The building is very nice carved in Gneiss with beautiful glass murals. It is also a nice history lesson about the last days of the Brazilian monarchy.
