Morro da Polícia

Morro da Polícia, Mountain summit in Porto Alegre, Brazil

Morro da Polícia, also known as Morro da Glória or Morro da Embratel, is a hill in the Glória neighbourhood of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. Its summit, at 287 metres, holds the transmission antennas of the city's television stations and FM radio stations. From the viewpoint there, almost the entire north zone of Porto Alegre, the Guaíba lake, the cities across the lake and part of the south zone can be seen.

Morro da Polícia takes its best-known name from the police, though it is also called Morro da Embratel and its official name is Morro da Glória. In the 1970s a restaurant and a small amusement park operated on the summit; both have since disappeared, leaving only the lookout.

The hill is known by three names: Morro da Glória officially, Morro da Polícia and Morro da Embratel, the latter from the television and FM radio antennas installed at the top. From the lookout, visitors see almost all of Porto Alegre's north zone, the Guaíba lake and the towns on its far shore.

The summit is reached by road through the Glória neighbourhood in the city's east zone; the antennas occupy the top, so the lookout is the main stopping point. Go on a clear day, since the view over the Guaíba lake and the north and south zones depends on visibility.

The hill is also known as Morro da Embratel, after the telecommunications company whose transmission antennas for the city's television stations and FM radio stations stand on the summit. From the viewpoint at the top, almost the entire north zone of Porto Alegre, the Guaíba lake and the cities on its far shore can be seen.
