Catete Palace

The Catete Palace (Palácio do Catete) is an urban mansion in Rio de Janeiro's Flamengo neighborhood. The property (several buildings and a large garden) stretches from Rua do Catete to Praia do Flamengo.

From 1894 to 1960, it was Brazil's presidential palace and the site of Getulio Vargas' suicide. It now houses the Museu da República (Museum of the Republic) and a theatre. The Catete underground rail station is adjacent.

O Rio foi capital do Brasil e testemunhou a colônia, a independência, a queda da monarquia e a república e foi capital do Império Português até que a capital fosse transferida para Brasília em 1960.

Local histórico indispensável para os brasileiros, a riqueza cultural desse local é gigantesca. No mais, a arquitetura é linda, e nao é muito cheio.

Lindo! Vale a pena a visita. 3$ a entrada de estudante. O quarto com o pijama e arma o onde Getúlio se matou está reforma. Mesmo assim vale a visita. Tudo em perfeito estado. Olhem pra cima, lindo!!!
