    Very interesting architecture, neo gothic influence. Remains of the late emperor D. Pedro II, his wife Teresa Cristina, his daughter Princess Isabel(who freed the slaves) and her husband Count D. (Gaston).

    Incredible church from the exterior to the interior. It is important because its the crypt of the Royal family of Brazil, which is sadly off limits to visitors.

    Cathedral in Petropolis. After their exile to and death in Europe, the remains of the last Brazilian emperor Pedro II and his wife were laid to rest here in marble tombs. His surviving daughter and her French husband are also entombed here. Of interest to those interested in 19th century imperial history of Brazil.

    One of the most visited places in Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro. The gothic stile is in complete harmony with the city. This 360° view was taken by drone at 70m high, touch the icon to control.

    Beautiful cathedral. It is worth checking it inside as well.

    Lack of maintenance is apparent with plants growing from the statues for example. Otherwise a must do visit if in the area.
