The Arcos are located in Lapa, Central area of Rio de Janeiro and it was built in the colonial period of Brazil. Nowadays it means a postcard of the city, being a symbol of the Old Rio by its preservation and also a symbol of the samba history and popular Rio culture.
The night of Lapa is one of the most famous and crowded in Rio, getting together not only samba but many different cultures like punk, hip-hop and latin sounds.
This picture was taken at Carnival 2009 during a street party and shows all that the place can offer: culture, history, tradition and modernity, grey and green.
That´s really a Rio urban landscape.
