Baths of King João VI at Caju, Heritage museum in Caju, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Baths of King João VI feature stone structures and architectural elements reflecting early 19th-century Brazilian construction methods and design principles.

The baths gained prominence during the Portuguese royal family's residence in Brazil, following their relocation from Lisbon during the Napoleonic Wars in 1807.

These royal baths demonstrate the bathing practices and social protocols of Brazilian nobility during the Portuguese colonial period in Rio de Janeiro.

The museum maintains regular visiting hours from Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours available in Portuguese and English by appointment.

The facility represents the only preserved royal bathing complex from Brazil's imperial period, receiving heritage protection status from IPHAN in 1938.
