Ilha Fiscal: A Time Capsule of Brazil's Imperial Era

The Ilha Fiscal, or Fiscal Island, served as the site for the last Imperial Ball in 1889. Designed by engineer Adolfo del Vecchio, this neo-Gothic palace was completed in 1889 and served as a customs facility.

Originally known as Rat Island, its historical significance increased when it housed the customs offices of Rio de Janeiro, the Empire's capital. Its architectural features, including a distinctive tower and ornate interiors, reflect the grandeur of the period.
