Magnificent neo-Manuélin-style library with over 350,000 volumes, some dating back to the and centuries

It's one of Rio's architectural jewels of the 19th century, yet rarely visited. This magnificent neo-Manuelan library, inspired by Portuguese religious buildings, in particular the St. Jerome monastery in Lisbon, was inaugurated in 1837 by Dom Pedro II, and contains over 350,000 volumes, some dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The main book room is breathtakingly beautiful. Quite simply, it's one of the most beautiful libraries in the world!

Absolument magnifique ! Une ambiance a la harry potter, des livres anciens précieusement conservés, une jolie visite si vous êtes dans le coin, et c'est gratuit.

Après avoir visité le monastère Dos Jeronimos à Lisbonne, on ne peut que remarquer la ressemblance frappante entre cette façade et le monastère. Quel décor finement sculpté. Mais le meilleur reste à venir : il faut entrer (gratuit en plus) pour être émerveillé. Il n'existe pas beaucoup de si belles bibliothèques : couleurs, bois sculpté, livres anciens, paradis pour les lecteurs !
