The Praia Da Urca and the Cassino Da Urca in the Urca district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Praia Da Urca and the Cassino in the Urca district Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The photographer is looking west-north-west and down from the top of the Morro Da Urca to the Cassino Da Urca after its remodelling in the mid 1930s. The Cassino is situated on the secluded Praia Da Urca and a large water slide is in the centre of the beach. The well laid out residential district with its wide parallel roads is on the right.
