Rua do Lavradio, Historical street in Lapa district, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Rua do Lavradio is a street in the Lapa neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, lined with colonial-style buildings and connecting two major city thoroughfares. Along its length, shopfronts, restaurants, and art galleries occupy the ground floors of old multi-story buildings with weathered facades.

The street was opened in 1771 and aligned in 1777 under Luís de Almeida Portugal Soares de Alarcão Eça e Melo Silva e Mascarenhas, the 2nd Marquis of Lavradio, who was viceroy of Brazil from 1769 to 1779. He built his residence at the corner with Rua da Relação, where he held parties and social gatherings. The building now houses the Brazilian Society of Fine Arts.

The street is known for its antique dealers and art galleries that occupy the old buildings along its length. On Saturdays, it turns into an open-air market where dealers and visitors trade furniture, art objects, and collectibles.

Lapa sits in central Rio de Janeiro and the street is easy to reach on foot or by public transport from nearby areas. Saturday mornings are the best time to visit, as the antiques market runs then and the whole street is more active than on other days.

The Marquis of Lavradio built his residence at the corner with Rua da Relação, where he held parties and social gatherings to offset the few leisure options in the colonial capital. That building now houses the Sociedade Brasileira de Belas Artes.
