Incredible place. If you have seen the Shining movie, you may think that you will see Jack around the corner. The round area of the old casino as an incredible accoustic. Don't miss the theater, the pool art deco and the corridors.

One can see why the Portuguese Royal Family chose Petropolis as the location for their summer palace. This is a beautiful city in a great setting. We visited the Imperial Palace, the cathedral and the former casino, among other places.

Represented by the imposing figure of a warrior on his horse, the Medieval Knight's Square was designed by Baron Smith de Vasconcelos, who had the dream of creating a space to honor the great heroes of his time, as well as to make life his ideals and they battle to aim their goals.
