Reviewed By RandyRoss - Ridgetown, Canada

One can see why the Portuguese Royal Family chose Petropolis as the location for their summer palace. This is a beautiful city in a great setting. We visited the Imperial Palace, the cathedral and the former casino, among other places.

Praca do Cavaleiro Medieval

Represented by the imposing figure of a warrior on his horse, the Medieval Knight's Square was designed by Baron Smith de Vasconcelos, who had the dream of creating a space to honor the great heroes of his time, as well as to make life his ideals and they battle to aim their goals. Thus, an important structure is about 5 meters high and is located at the entrance of the Solar, our bar and restaurant. Come visit us and check out this beautiful monument!
