Recently, the area was declared a historical and religious monument of Rio de Janeiro due to its historical importance. The place has this name because it used to be where the enslaved people discharged the salt from Europe to the city. The traditional Roda de Samba da Pedra do Sal (Samba circle of Salt stone) is held at the bottom of Morro da Conceição, in the Saúde neighborhood, starting at 7 pm. The group has won several national awards, including the Brazilian Music Award for the best Samba group. ![]() The samba circle is led by the musician Moacyr Luz and a new generation of samba players such as Gabriel Cavalcante and Nego Álvaro.

As a result of the end of the slave trade in the country, they started to erect their humble houses, originating the first slams.
