Visiting the Little Castle of Ilha Fiscal in Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷

Fiscal Island is located inside Guanabara Bay, bordering the historic center of the city of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. The island is famous for housing the Palácio da Ilha Fiscal, or Customs Palace of Island of Rats, but popularly called "Little Castle", and the place where the famous Ilha Fiscal ball was held, the most expensive and the biggest party promoted by the Empire of Brazil, celebration held on Friday, November 8th, on the eve of the coup d'état whose purpose was to depose Emperor D. Pedro II and establish a republican regime in the country with the Proclamation of the Republic of Brazil, on November 15th. November 1889. Currently, the island's castle is part of the Navy's Cultural Complex with a cultural space and museum, administered by the Navy's Directorate of Historical Heritage and Documentation.
Originally called Ilha dos Ratos by the Portuguese, its current name comes from the fact that the Fiscal Guard post was located there, which served the port of the capital of the Empire, in the 19th century.

Hi Nick, have you been to Ilha Grande? Its an incredible place

[@nickmusttravel]

Hi, yes I have but this was during my CZcams channel infancy. I have some old videos of when I was there like 3 years ago but not that great of quality.

[@BWEST_77]

I went by that castle on the boat tour.

[@nickmusttravel]

I went by it so many times by ferry and also whenever I would fly into Rio, so finally was able to visit it. I would have liked more time to walk around it but the tour is not very long.

Kinda boring but hey, it is what it is 👍

[@nickmusttravel]

Yeah it was kinda boring but I was wanting to visit it for so long 😆 It did not meet my expectations lol

Thats the historical part of Brazil. No parties or beaches here. Pedro II ruled brazil for more than 50 years before the republic take place. Princess Isabel signed the law that finished the black slavery in Brazil.

@@fiviorj The historical stuff doesn't get the views but it's fine. I like to show some of the historical locations for people to see because I think it's important and I enjoy it.
