Morro dos Prazeres - "Mountain of Pleasures" - is a favela in the Southern Zone, the Zona Sul of the Brazilian metropolis Rio de Janeiro. It is part of the quarter Santa Teresa, which is roughly 2.5 km northeast, and considered pacified.〔Aécio Amado: ''(Comunidade pacificada do Rio recebe exposição itinerante do Museu Histórico Nacional )'', Agência Brasil, 2013-07-12.〕 The occupation of the Morro dos Prazeres began in 1940 and the census of 2010 suggested a population of 2136 people.〔Fernanda Pernasetti, Octaviano Araújo, Jeferson Dias: ''(Escondidinho / Prazeres )'', UPP Social (Prefeitura de Rio do Janeiro), 2011-05-20.〕 The mountain, respectively hill, the favela is named after has an altitude of 275 metres. The name is a tribute to Mother Maria dos Prazeres, who held masses on the base of the hill, an area where once was a chapel. These days there is an apartment block. Morro dos Prazeres is part of the statistical unit Escondidinho / Prazeres. The favela has found wider attention as a location of the 2008 movie Elite Squad (''Tropa de Elite'') and as venue of Rockgol, a football event starring musicians staged by MTV, in 2011.〔''(Morro dos Prazeres no Rio de Janeiro sediou o campeonato Rock Gol MTV 2011 )'', Sportlink, 2011-04-07.〕 File:Morro dos Prazeres (RJ) - 01.jpg | Morro dos Prazeres File:Morro dos Prazeres - 02.jpg | View from Morro dos Prazeres File:Morro dos Prazeres (RJ) - Visit 2010.jpg | In Morro dos Prazeres File:Morro dos Prazeres (RJ) - Map.png | Map of Morro dos Prazeres == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morro dos Prazeres」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
