Convento de Santa Teresa, Carmelitas
Baroque
Arcos da Lapa, Carioca Aqueduct
Colonial structure built in 1750 that brought water from springs to downtown.
Escadaria Selarón
A stairway covered by colorful tiles and the ever-evolving art work of Chilean artist Jorge Selarón.
Museu da Chácara do Céu
An art and antique museum with a good collection of works by modern masters. During Carnaval 2006 some of its most famous works of art were stolen while a procession passed by outside.
Catedral Metropolitana São Sebastião
A rather bizarre, modern cathedral shaped like a volcano, with a very impressively vacuous interior.
Escola de Música da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
A good place to catch free classical music concerts. Stop by during the day for a schedule or check the newspaper for events, as the surrounding neighborhood can be a bit shady at night.
