Vibrant, lurid, sprawling São Paulo may bear more than a passing resemblance to DC Comics’ Gotham City—but Beco do Batman’s (“Batman Alley”) brash colors and stark angles beat those of any graphic novel.

Every inch of this street art landmark is covered with graffiti of the finest order. Much of it is produced by artists associated with São Paulo’s urban intervention schemes, but the Beco do Batman also attracts sprayers and stencilers from all over the world.

With its layers upon layers of paint, Beco do Batman is a constantly changing wonder: there’s a new surprise every day, so it’ll draw you back again and again.
