Description

Gorgeous tiles depicting bullfighting adds from Ronda and Sevilla, detail from Escadaria Selarón - Lapa neighbourhood, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

According to Wikipedia:

Ranked #74 of 670 things to do in Rio de Janeiro by Lonely Planet travellers, the Escadaria Selarón is a set of world-famous steps in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They are the work of Chilean-born artist Jorge Selarón who claims it as "my tribute to the Brazilian people".

There are 250 steps measuring 125 metres long which are covered in over 2000 tiles collected from over 60 countries around the world.

Originally, tiles for the work were scavenged from various construction sites and piles of urban waste found on the Rio streets. Today however, most of the tiles are donated by visitors from all around the world.

So beautiful tiles!
