Mirante da Granja Guarani, Scenic viewpoint in Teresópolis, Brazil
The circular structure stands on an elevated position, featuring Portuguese tiles and columns supporting a traditional clay-tiled roof with pinnacles.
Built in 1929 by the Guinle family, this neocolonial monument combines architectural elements with decorative tiles painted by Portuguese ceramist Jorge Colaço.
The decorative tiles depict four indigenous legends, including The Flood, The Evil Spirit, The Girl Who Left to Look for Her Husband, and How Night Appeared.
The site requires significant restoration work as vegetation growth currently limits the panoramic views and several architectural elements show deterioration signs.
The building name derives from José de Alencar's literary work O Guarani, chosen by Arnaldo Guinle, who developed the surrounding neighborhood.
