This place was recently discovered. It dates back from the slavery epoch in Brazil, and a buch of human remains were discovered here. Now it's a visiting place. Worth visiting.

This historic landmark is detrimental to what Rio de Janeiro is today. I was happy to have an opportunity to visit this site.
Historical place. Very important for Africans decent. Most important for mankind. You'll feel bad for knowing how Africans slave were treated there. They were sold like animals. Like no one should be treated.
A very interesting historical site as this location used to harbor a naval dock were the slaves coming from Africa and brought to the continent by slaves traders would arrive and consequently be sold and traded. This was legal until 1831 when slavery was banned, after this date the traffic continued illegally but the ships would dock duing the night to avoid the public attention, it was then covered in 1843 as the expected arrival of Tereza Maria daughter of Francis I of Two Sicilies. It was then discovered in during a city urban reform. The dock has about meters and is now protected as national heritage it is also part of the circuit of African archaeological heritage.
Interesting to see the restoration work in progress
A very important piece of Rio de Janeiro/Brazil history. It should deserve 5 stars, but unfortunately the government doesn't take care of it. If you want to know a bit of history, this is the place where slaves first stepped into the city when they came from Africa. A sad history.
