Who returns to the newly renovated Praça Mauá, in the center of Rio de Janeiro, initially has a shock. The space was returned to locals and visitors with the Porto Maravilha project, which, among other things, promoted the demolition of the Perimeter, a high road considered by some a pure act of architectural terrorism against the Marvelous City. With the large withdrawal, the visitor is faced with a pulsating Mauá Square and renewed offering, right away, a breathtaking view of Guanabara Bay, Rio-Niteroi Bridge and the neighboring city of Niteroi. The visitors have also the opportunity to enjoy one of the buildings that definitely is, without exaggeration, consolidating itself as one of the most beautiful architectural designs of museums on the planet.
The Mauá Square today has an impressive architectural ensemble consists of the Museum of Tomorrow, the Monastery of St. Benedict, the first skyscraper in Latin America, building "A noite", and the Rio Art Museum (MAR).
