Bishop’s House, Historical house in Rio Comprido, Brazil
The Bishop's House features seven windows with balconies on the upper floor, positioned above three central open arches and decorated with ornamental lintels.
Built on former Jesuit land, the property was transferred to D. António do Desterro, the sixth bishop of Rio de Janeiro, in 1765.
The architectural design reflects Portuguese colonial influence through its U-shaped structure, arched portico, and decorative elements characteristic of the period.
Visitors can access the central sections of the building through a five-flight staircase that leads to the main entrance with three open arches.
The building structure reveals construction variations, including different pilaster base heights and extended lintels near the cornice, indicating changes to initial design plans.
