Morro da Conceição, Historic hill in Saúde district, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Located in the port area, Morro da Conceição rises 14 meters above sea level and features traditional Portuguese colonial architecture along its winding streets.
The hill became a significant settlement during Rio's early development, with buildings dating back to colonial times and military installations from different periods.
Local residents maintain strong community bonds through street gatherings, samba performances at Pedra do Sal, and traditional commerce in old-style shops.
Visitors can access Morro da Conceição by climbing Major Daemon Street, which connects the lower port area to the residential sections on top.
The intersection of Ladeira do João Homem and Rua do Jogo da Bola streets forms Major Valô Square, displaying centuries of Rio's urban evolution.
