Apothecary’s Square, or Largo do Boticario, is a famous square found in Rio de Janeiro’s Cosme Velho neighborhood. Visitors will instantly see a difference in the architecture and environment surrounding the square. There are many neo colonial houses and buildings that architecture aficionados will love. One of the famed structures is Casa Cor-de-Rosa, or the Pink House, which was once owned by Brazilian journalist Sylvia de Arruda. The square is slowly falling into ruins, which adds a bit of charm to the historic area. Nearby, you will also be able to see other historic attractions such as the Corcovado Railway and the Abacaxis House.
