Description
Located in southeastern Brazil, about 68 km (42 miles) north of Rio de Janeiro, Petrópolis has around 300,000 inhabitants and is the largest city in the Fluminense Mountain region. Also known as the Imperial City, it was the summer residence of the Brazilian Emperors and aristocrats during the 19th century. The town's name ("city of Peter") honors Pedro II, the last Emperor of Brazil, who is entombed at the Cathedral of Saint Peter of Alcantara (Catedral de São Pedro de Alcântara).
