Jorge Celaron's 215-step staircase is one of the attractions of Rio. At first, the Chilean artist painted the tiles with his drawings, then the staircase gained popularity and tiles began to be brought from all over the world and Selaron inscribed them in his staircase. I immediately found Moscow, it's at the beginning of the stairs at the bottom left)) Traveler and travel agent in tg polina_brazil

The famous staircase of the Chilean artist Celaron. There are always crowds of people here. There is an ice cream parlor on the stairs, and sometimes street musicians perform.

And all this was created by the Chilean artist Jorge Celaron. He decided to create a work of art in his prestigious paradise. At first, he made tiles himself, on which, by the way, he depicted himself as pregnant. The staircase gradually gained fame. Tourists from all over the world began to bring him tiles. His ladder began to appear on the pages of magazines and in travel broadcasts. He became a celebrity. But fame did not spoil him. Selaron got up with the dawn of the sun, started his work and worked as long as there was enough light. He didn't need anything for himself. He dedicated his work to the city and said that it would end only on the day of his death. And so it happened, he was found dead on the steps of his stairs.

Wonderful bright staircase. In fact, Selaron erected a monument to himself during his lifetime. For 23 years, until his death, he patiently and sincerely glued these tiles. With your own money. He even died on those stairs.
