These colourful steps are iconic to Rio de Janeiro. Selaron, an artist from Chile is the one who started this tile work,

however he ran out of supplies. After Brazil won the football world cup in 1994, people started contributing towards this project by contributing tiles. Word spread and people from all over the world started sending tiles for this artwork. The most expensive tiles here is a handmade one from Iran, costing around USD$2000!
