ARCHITECTURAL STYLES OF RIO
To the observer, the history of Rio does not convey its nostalgic side through its most notable buildings. On the contrary, thanks to a policy to preserve these monuments, each one is already a symbol of a cultural reality which is unquestionably present. Admire each building, its architecture and imagine its history. The present image of Rio tells the history of its urban development, where new constructions exist in perfect harmony with the old.
