About Niteroi
Niterói is a city in southeast Brazil, connected to Rio de Janeiro by a bridge across Guanabara Bay. On the bay, the saucer-shaped Niterói Contemporary Art Museum was designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. He also designed the Teatro Popular, to the north. On a headland to the south, the 16th-century Fortress of Santa Cruz da Bara has cannons and dungeons. Local beaches include Icaraí and São Francisco. ― Google
