The Carioca Aqueduct (Aqueduto da Carioca), which is an impressive example of colonial architecture and engineering, was built in the middle of the 18th century to bring fresh water from the Carioca river to the population of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Carioca Aqueduct is located in the centre of the city, in the Lapa neighbourhood, and is frequently called Arcos da Lapa (Lapa Arches) by Brazilian people. Since the end of the 19th century the aqueduct serves as a bridge for a popular tram that connects the city centre with the Santa Teresa neighbourhood uphill, the Santa Teresa Tramway

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the breathtaking view of the Carioca Aqueduct (Arcos da Lapa) and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian in the background, located in Lapa, Rio de Janeiro. The Carioca Aqueduct stands as a remarkable example of colonial architecture and engineering, constructed during the 18th century to provide fresh water to the city's inhabitants from the Carioca river. Nestled in Rio's vibrant center, specifically within the lively Lapa neighborhood, this iconic aqueduct is affectionately known as Arcos da Lapa (Lapa Arches) among locals. Its historical significance extends beyond its original purpose; since the late 19th century, it has also served as a bridge for a beloved tram that connects downtown with Santa Teresa uphill – an attraction known as Santa Teresa Tramway. The image showcases not only these architectural marvels but also highlights other notable features such as old buildings adorned with colorful tiles and a captivating urban skyline. The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian adds another layer of grandeur to this composition. With its modern design and towering presence, it beautifully contrasts against the colonial style seen throughout. Artie Photography skillfully captured this momentous scene, allowing viewers to appreciate both history and progress coexisting harmoniously in one frame. This print serves as a visual reminder of Brazil's rich cultural heritage while showcasing Rio de Janeiro's unique charm and beauty.
