Castelo Valentim_RB0125.jpg


Overview of Rio de Janeiro’s bohemian Santa Teresa quarter, Brazil, where the historic yellow bonde (streetcar) ascends steep, winding tramlines beneath Valentim Castle (Castelo Valentim), one of Santa Teresa’s best-known 19th-century mansions, an eclectic blend of Romantic and medieval‑military motifs, with four small turrets (towers) punctuating the façade and sculpted friezes.The scene exemplifies the neighborhood’s distinctive fusion of heritage urban transport and 19th-century exotic architecture.
