# Largo do Boticário

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Largo do Boticário is a small colonial-style square in Cosme Velho, framed by pastel neocolonial houses and Atlantic Forest greenery. Named for an apothecary who settled here around 1831, it was largely created in the 1920s as a romantic vision of old Rio.
