Review & FAQ:

Popularly known as “Selaron Steps,” Escadaria Selaron is a set of 215 world-famous steps that were designed by Chilean-born artist Jorge Selaron. The artist, who renovated the steps for nearly 23 years, called it a "tribute to the Brazilian people." Jorge started the project as a way of fixing the dilapidated steps in front of his home. Soon the project grew, and it now has over 2,000 pieces of ceramics, tiles, and mirrors collected from over 60 different countries around the world. Visitors can come see the beautiful work of art the steps have now become and see the various pieces, many of which were painted by Jorge himself.
