The Imperial Mausoleum, located to the right of the forecourt of the Cathedral of Saint Peter of Alcantara in Petrópolis, is the final resting place of the second Emperor of Brazil, Pedro II and his wife Teresa Cristina, as well as their daughter, Princess Isabel, and other members of the imperial family of the second reign.[1]
In Neo-Gothic style, matching the temple in which it is located, the Imperial Mausoleum is adorned with murals depicting the coronation of Dom Pedro II and his departure for exile upon the Republican coup d’état on 15 November 1889. The stained glass windows feature the imperial arms and figures of Catholic saints associated with the Brazilian imperial family, as well as poems written by Dom Pedro II during his exile.[2][3]
The Imperial Mausoleum is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city of Petrópolis.[1][2]
The mausoleum was inaugurated by President Getúlio Vargas in 1939, with the arrival of the remains of Emperor Pedro II and Empress Teresa Cristina. They were repatriated from the Pantheon of the House of Braganza at the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora in Lisbon, Portugal in 1925, during the celebrations of the centenary of Dom Pedro II’s birth; and were housed for a few years in the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro at that time and former Imperial Chapel.
The remains of Princess Isabel and the Count of Eu were interred there in the 1950s, repatriated from the House of Orléans Mausoleum in Dreux, France.
The last remains to be interred in the mausoleum were those of the emperors’ grandson, Prince Pedro de Alcântara, and his wife, Countess Elizabeth Dobrženský von Dobrženitz, transferred from the municipal cemetery of the city in 1990.[2][3][4]
