Imaging Brazil 368: Cathedral Roof in Petrópolis, RJ The construction of the imperial city of Petrópolis started in 1843, when Pedro II issued a decree for a settlement, and for the construction of a summer palace. It is considered as the second planned – after Recife by the Dutch – city in Brazil. Initially, the mother church was planned near the imperial palace, according to the urbanization plan by Major Júlio Frederico Koeler. However, the construction of a new church was reconsidered and only in 1884, the current building of the cathedral was started. The Neo-Gothic building, inspired upon the classical Gothic churches in northern France. In 1925, the cathedral was inaugurated, and only in 1969, the church tower was completed. In 1921, the remains of emperor Pedro II and his wife, Teresa Christina, were buried in the cathedral. in 1971, the remains of Princess Isabel and her husband Gaston d”Eu were transferred to the imperial mausoleum. It is allowed to climb the cathedral tower, from where this picture was taken, showing the red-tiled cathedral roof www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #natgeobrasil #riodejaneiro #petropolis #church #cathedral #saopedrodealcantara

Imaging Brazil 367: Pink Winter Blossom at Praça da Liberdade in Belo Horizonte, MG Praça da Liberdade in Belo Horizonte is one of the most popular locations for both tourists and belohorizontinos. The big square is decorated as a park, and is cut in the middle by a cobble-stone-paved lane flanked by tall imperial palm trees. The square is surrounded by historical buildings that once were part of the state government. The main building is the governmental palace, that is still in use. The other buildings have been transformed into cultural centers and museums. The former Secretariate of Treasury (Secretária da Fazenda) is transformed into Memorial Minas Gerais-Vale. A museum – maintained and sponsored by Vale Company – that represents the history and heritage of the state of Minas Gerais. In winter, the ipê rosa (Handroanthus heptaphyllus), or Black Lapacho blooms with bunches of bright pink tubular flowers, which creates a colorful contrast with pale yellowish plaster of the historic building, with the 1897 cornerstone that marked the start of the construction of Belo Horizonte. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #natgeobrasil #belohorizonte #pracadaliberdade

Imaging Brazil 366: Red-Carpeted Staircase in Teatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro, RJ Without doubt, the Municipal Theater in downtown Rio de Janeiro may be considered as one of the most beautiful monuments in this marvellous city. It is located at Rio Branco Avenue, Treze de Maio Avenue, Evaristo de Veiga Street, and Alagoas/ Marechal Floriano Square in Cinelândia District. The theater, inaugurated in 1909, belongs to the most important and most beautiful in Brazil. After the Proclamation of the Republic in 1889, playwright Artur Azevedo started a campaign for a new theater. It was major Pereira Passos who took the initiative for the construction, and his son, architect Francisco de Oliveira Passos, designed the theater inspired upon the Ópera in Paris. More than one thousand wooden poles were used as foundation for the theater. A number of prominent Brazilian artists, and some European counterparts, were invited to decorate the new theater. The bust in the picture is a good example of the luxurious decoration of this theater. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #natgeobrasil #riodejaneiro #teatromunicipal
