Fun facts

  • The Sugarloaf cable car, from 1912, was the first in Brazil and the third in the world.
  • At São Bento Monastery, the 10am Sunday Mass is celebrated with Gregorian chant.
  • Selarón used to say the staircase would only be finished "on the last day of my life" — and he traded paintings for tiles sent by travelers from all over the world.
  • The soapstone covering Christ the Redeemer helps the monument withstand the lightning strikes it takes every year.
