 Welcome to the home of the greatest show on earth! Designed by Oscar Neimeyer and built in 1984, the Sambodromo is a massive concrete stadium-like structure built along both sides of Avenida Marques de Sapucai, designed to create a runway for the schools to parade down until they reach the Apotheosis Square at the end where they manifest the magnificent magic of Carnival, and dare the awestruck onlookers to deem any show on earth worthy of comparison.
There are 14 samba schools from the 'special group' to perform. The first night, Sunday , 7 of these schools performe at the Sambodromo - Samba Parade Ground . Each of them has from 70 to 85 minutes to perform, and the parade finishes at the 'Praça da Apoteose' (the M shaped structure at the end of the avenue ). Each school has a different theme. Each samba school has an average of 4.000
