Theatro da Paz, Opera house in Campina, Belém, Brazil.

The Teatro da Paz displays neoclassical architecture with columns, Italian theatrical design, and crystal mirrors overlooking Republic Square in northern Brazil.

The construction began in 1869 and finished in 1874, opening to the public in 1878 during the economic growth of the Amazon rubber trade.

The theater hosts performances ranging from classical operas to Brazilian artistic presentations, maintaining its position as northern Brazil's principal cultural venue.

Visitors can join thirty-minute guided tours of the theater, which accommodates between 906 and 1100 people for various performances.

The interior features Carrara marble busts, a mural depicting Greek gods by Domenico de Angelis, and floors made from noble wood mosaics.

Monuments of Brazil: colonial architecture, contemporary museums, and natural sites

Brazilian architectural heritage reflects centuries of history, from colonial fortifications to contemporary structures. In São Paulo, the Flag Monument pays tribute to colonial expeditions, while in Belém, the Peace Theater recalls the prosperity of the rubber era. In Curitiba, the Oscar Niemeyer Museum showcases modern Brazilian architecture, and in Rio de Janeiro, the National Library holds over 9 million works in a neoclassical building. This collection brings together diverse sites that tell the story of the country’s development: military fortresses like São José de Macapá from the 18th century, cultural institutions like the Museum of Tomorrow focused on environmental issues, and managed natural spaces such as the Curitiba Botanical Garden. These sites offer an exploration of Brazil's history, architecture, and culture.
