What the numbers say

Rio de Janeiro accounts for 24 notable places listed on OpenStreetMap in this cycle, all of them on August 2, 2026. Every row below is a record as its source published it — no estimate, no interpolation, and nothing carried over from a previous run.

That places Rio de Janeiro 1 of 3 among South America, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.

The most recent entries are Solar, Sítio Cascata Dois Irmãos, São Sebastião. This page is a view of public data and not a substitute for it — check the original before acting on any row.

The list, read out

Museums account for 12 of the 24: Solar, Museu do Primeiro Reinado, Museu Penitenciário do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rua Van Erven, Museu Militar Conde de Linhares, Museu da Polícia Militar, Horto Botânico do Museu Nacional, Museu Nacional, Casa Histórica de Marechal Deodoro, Centro Cultural Casa das Águas, Museu de Astronomia e Ciências Afins and 586. Memorials account for 11 of the 24: São Sebastião, Zumbi dos Palmares, Cápsula do Tempo (2022–2072), Cápsula do Tempo (1972–2022), Marechal Duque de Caxias, Monumento a Benjamin Constant, Almirante Cochrane, Rádio-Ginastas, Thomas Delfino dos Santos, Busto de Bartlet James and Padre Elias Gorayeb. Attraction accounts for 1 of the 24: Sítio Cascata Dois Irmãos. Alphabetically the register runs from 586 to Zumbi dos Palmares.

That is 3 place types across 24 listings for Rio de Janeiro. Museums are the largest group at 12, attraction the smallest at 1 — the mix is the map speaking, not this page: a type is whatever the OpenStreetMap record says it is. One label appears exactly once — attraction (Sítio Cascata Dois Irmãos).

The addresses OpenStreetMap files these places under touch 20 distinct localities, and they cluster: Alameda das Sapucaias holds 3 (Cápsula do Tempo (2022–2072) and Cápsula do Tempo (1972–2022) among them) and Rua Conde de Bonfim holds 3 (Rádio-Ginastas and Thomas Delfino dos Santos among them), while 18 localities carry one entry each — a rough sketch of where Rio de Janeiro keeps its notable ground.
