Rio de Janeiro - Twins III

Another view of the "Casas Casadas" (Married Houses), in the district of Laranjeiras. I took this pic some days after the others I've posted here about the same subject. Now, it's possible to see the contrasts between the old and the new. This building, a former residencial complex for families, in the last decades of the XIX Century, is now becoming a multimedia cultural complex.
