The Copacabana, has a lot to offer anyone with interest for historical places in Brazil.

The district itself has history back to the 1500's when the little half island in today's Guanabara bay, now called the sugarloaf, was colonized and fortified by Villegaignon under the patronage of Admiral Coligny in 1555.

The settlement was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1566, and the name of the island changed to São Sebastião.

The Brazil history chronology continues with Sao sebastiao evolving into the making of Rio de janeiro, the first protestant settlement in the new world and capitol of Brazil in 1763.

You can discover the history of Brazil houses, and see how building of the tunnels connecting Rio to Copacabana helped make the neighborhood one of the most populated area per square meter. The Copacabana district itself is one of the historical places in Brazil worth visiting.
