The tower, which was built in the car park of a the Shopping Centre Norte, took four days to construct, and used more than 500,000 individual Lego pieces.

Danish toy firm Lego sent designers from Denmark to Brazil for the event.

The first Lego tower was built in London in 1988 and stood just a little over 15 metres. 

Ever since then, 53 cities have hosted the tower in more than 30 countries.

The Lego tower will be on display until April 14.
