Maracanã Stadium opened on June 16, 1950, built specifically to host that year's FIFA World Cup, and was designed to hold close to 200,000 spectators — making it one of the largest stadiums ever built. A month later, on July 16, 1950, it hosted the deciding match of the tournament, where host nation Brazil lost 2-1 to Uruguay in front of an officially recorded crowd of 173,850 (estimates of the true attendance, including those who got in without tickets, run as high as 220,000). Brazilians still call that result the Maracanazo, and it's remembered as one of the most painful days in the country's football history. The stadium was extensively rebuilt ahead of hosting the 2014 World Cup final.
Sugarloaf Mountain's cable car system, the Bondinho Pão de Açúcar, began running on October 27, 1912 — an idea first proposed by civil engineer Augusto Ramos in 1908, when it became only the third cable car of its kind operating anywhere in the world. The original cars ran for six decades before the system was fully rebuilt in 1972 and again in 2002; today's glass-walled cars each carry around 65 passengers across the two-stage route via Morro da Urca.
Christ the Redeemer, the day's other mountaintop stop, was completed in 1931 after nine years of construction — an engineering challenge that led the project's team to build the statue in reinforced concrete rather than steel, given its unusual cross-like shape, with an outer layer of soapstone.
The day finishes at the Selarón Steps, a 215-step staircase linking the Lapa and Santa Teresa neighborhoods that Chilean-born artist Jorge Selarón began covering in ceramic tile in 1990. What started as a personal project using leftover and donated tiles grew, over more than two decades, into a patchwork of pieces from upwards of 60 countries — Selarón kept adding to it until his death in January 2013, and it remains one of Rio's most photographed public artworks.
