Anhembi Sambadrome, Samba parade venue in Santana District, São Paulo, Brazil

The Anhembi Sambadrome stretches 530 meters in length and 14 meters in width, featuring concrete grandstands that accommodate 30,000 spectators along the parade route.

Oscar Niemeyer designed this dedicated carnival space, which opened its doors in 1991 to provide São Paulo with a permanent structure for samba school competitions.

Each year, the Sambadrome transforms into a competition ground where samba schools display their choreography, floats, and costumes during the carnival season.

The venue includes multiple seating sections, dedicated entrance gates, and connections to public transportation through the nearby Portuguesa-Tietê metro station.

The Sambadrome's concrete floor incorporates flood prevention technology, allowing events to proceed during São Paulo's regular rainfall patterns.
