Pierre de sel
Pedra do Sal (Salt Stone) in
Rio de Janeiro is a historic- ally significant site known as the birthplace of samba and a symbol of Afro- Brazilian culture, where enslaved Africans once worked and later gathered to de- velop the music genre. Historically, it served as a salt trading post and later as a point for loading extracted stones for port construction during Brazil's colonial and slave eras. Its importance lies in its role as a center for African-Brazilian communities, religious practices, and the development of samba, and it remains a vibrant cultural hub with a weekly samba circle and a growing recognition as a significant heritage site

Jetée de Valongo
The Cais do Valongo is an
archaeological site in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that served as the principal entry point for enslaved Africans in the Americas. Discovered in 2011, the site fea- tures multiple layers of historical cobble- stones, with the lowest dating to 1811 when the wharf was built to concentrate slave disembarkations. Its importance lies in its status as the most comprehensive physical remnant of the Atlantic slave trade, a site of conscience that evokes collective memory, and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2017, symbolizing the suffering and resili- ence of African descendants and celebrat- ing Afro-Brazilian heritage.
