Praça XV de Novembro, Colonial square in Centro district, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The square features an 18th-century imperial palace, a naval museum, and a baroque fountain designed by Valentim da Fonseca e Silva in 1789.
The location served as the main disembarkation point for Portuguese royalty and later witnessed the proclamation of the Brazilian Republic in November 1889.
