Rio Claro, Brazil
São João Marcos
São João Marcos was a former municipality in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. It was depopulated and demolished in the 1940s due to the formation of the Ribeirão das Lages Dam for the production and supply of electricity to the city of Rio de Janeiro. On February 16, 1990, the Ponte Bela and the remaining ruins of the Historical Complex of São João Marcos were provisionally registered by the State Institute of Cultural Heritage of the Rio de Janeiro.
