SELARON STAIRCASE
The stairs located in Lapa in front of Rua Joaquim Silva is one of the attractions that my customers like to visit the artist has twenty years of tiling and re-tiling each step into a never-ending mosaic of colours he received tiles from all over the world and he collected as many tiles on his travels around the world when he decided to live in Brazil and began renovating the steps in 1990 .
he also used to paint many pictures and displays them with the tongue out one of his characteristics
we could easily find him sitting on the stairs with so many of his creations
there you´ll see tiles from over 60 countries around the world there are 250 steps measuring 125 metres long which are covered in over 2000 tiles
