Founded by Portuguese immigrants in 1837, its limestone façade inspired by <strong>Lisbon</strong>'s elaborately Gothic-Renaissance <strong>Jerônimos Monastery</strong>, the <strong><em>Real Gabinete Português de Leitura</em></strong> is handsome outside but downright amazing within, its main reading room not terribly large but soaring up to an iron skylight (the first of its kind in <strong>Brazil</strong>), with elegant blue-and-gold ornamentation along the walls, a striking chandelier, and a lovely monument of silver, ivory and marble celebrating the European age of discovery.</span></p>
