Magnificent neo-Manual-style library with over 350,000 volumes, some dating back to the and centuries

One of the architectural jewels of the Rio of the 19th century, yet little visited. This magnificent library in the so-called "neomanuelin" style (inspired by Portuguese religious buildings, in particular the Monastery of Saint Jerome in Lisbon) was inaugurated in 1837 by Emperor Dom Pedro II, and contains more than 350,000 volumes, some dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. The main book room is breathtakingly beautiful. Quite simply one of the most beautiful libraries in the world!

Absolument magnifique ! Une ambiance a la harry potter, des livres anciens précieusement conservés, une jolie visite si vous êtes dans le coin, et c'est gratuit.

Après avoir visité le monastère Dos Jeronimos à Lisbonne, on ne peut que remarquer la ressemblance frappante entre cette façade et le monastère. Quel décor finement sculpté. Mais le meilleur reste à venir : il faut entrer (gratuit en plus) pour être émerveillé. Il n'existe pas beaucoup de si belles bibliothèques : couleurs, bois sculpté, livres anciens, paradis pour les lecteurs !
far from known even cariocas
in the centre, on an attractive place, you are suffocated by the richness of this temple of the book... silence is essential, visit... and free
