Parque da Cidade, Municipal natural park in Gávea, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The park extends over 470,000 square meters of terrain, featuring dense forests, landscaped areas, a lake with a small island, and steep slopes.
The land belonged to Marquês de São Vicente who built his summer residence in 1809, before the Guinle family transferred it to the city hall in 1939.
The Historical Museum of Rio de Janeiro relocated to the park in 1948, displaying 24,000 art pieces from Brazilian and international artists.
Visitors can access the park through Santa Marinha street at the top of Gávea by private vehicle, taxi, or the Troncal 5 bus line.
The park connects directly to Tijuca National Park, forming an integral part of Rio de Janeiro's environmental protection network at 146 meters elevation.
