A LITTLE OF RIO DE JANEIRO HISTORY

Cristo Redentor is a statue of Jesus Christ, located on Corcovado hill (Rio de Janeiro city). The statue is 30 meters high, with more 8 because of the pedestals. The monument construction began in 1.926 and it was inaugurated on October 12, 1.931. In 1.937, this monument was registered by IPHAN (National Historical and Artistic Patrimony Institute). Participating in the project were sculptors Paul Landowsi, artist Carlos Oswald and engineer Heitor da Silva Costa. In October of 2006, it was considered a Catholic shrine in Brazil. There is a Nossa Senhora Aparecida chapel, located at the statue base. In 2007, it was elected one of the world Seven New Wonders.
 

Rio de Janeiro city registered trademark, Sugar Loaf Mountain is a mountain naked of vegetation in its almost totality. It is a unique block of granite rock, which has undergone changes by pressure and temperature and is older than 600 million years. Sugar Loaf is surrounded by a vegetation characteristic of tropical climate, specifically an Atlantic Forest remnant, with native species that have already been extinct in other points of Brazilian coastal vegetation. 
 

There are several historical versions about Sugar Loaf name origin. According to historian Vieira Fazenda, Portuguese people gave this name during sugar cane cultivation apogee in Brazil (16th and 17th century).
