Casa da Princesa Isabel, Imperial residence in Petrópolis, Brazil
The neoclassical palace bears a red brick tone characteristic of Brazilian imperial family residences and features a monogram G.I. on its pediment.
The palace witnessed the last photograph of the Brazilian Imperial Family in 1888, shortly before their exile following the proclamation of the republic.
The palace maintains strong connections to Brazilian monarchy through its current owners, the Orleans and Braganza family, descendants of Princess Isabel.
Located at 42 Koeller Avenue, the building houses the Petrópolis Real Estate Company and the Princess Antique Shop, which sells items from the monarchical period.
The gardens contain camellia flowers planted by Princess Isabel herself, symbolizing the abolition of slavery in Brazil.
