  • Royal Portuguese Reading<br />
<br />
The institution was founded in 1837 by a group of forty-three Portuguese immigrants, political refugees, to promote culture among the Portuguese community in the then capital of the Empire. It was the first association of this community in the city.<br />
<br />
The current headquarters building, designed by Portuguese architect Rafael da Silva e Castro, was erected between 1880 and 1887 neomanuelino style. This architectural style evokes the exuberant Gothic-Renaissance effect at the time of the Portuguese Discoveries, known as Manueline in Portugal for having coincided with the reign of King Manuel I (1495-1521).<br />
<br />
The interior also follows the style neomanuelino doors, wooden shelves for books and memorials. The roof of the Reading Room has a beautiful chandelier and a skylight in the iron structure, the first example of this type of architecture in Brazil. The lounge also has a beautiful monument of silver, ivory and marble (the Altar of the Fatherland), 1.7 meters high, which celebrates the time of discovery, performed at Kings & Sons in Port Antonio Maria Ribeiro by the goldsmith, and purchased in 1923 by the Royal Cabinet.<br />
Among its distinguished visitors, past, are the names of Machado de Assis, Olavo Bilac and John in Rio<br />
<br />
The Office publishes the magazine Real Convergence Lusíada (biannual) and promotes courses on Literature, Portuguese Language, History, Anthropology and Arts, aimed mainly at college students.<br />
<br />
The history of the Brazilian Academy of Letters is attached to the Royal Cabinet, since the first five solemn sessions of the Academy, under the presidency of Machado de Assis, were held here.

A favela is the generally used term for a shanty town in Brazil. In the late 18th century, the first settlements were called bairros africanos (African neighbourhoods). This was the place where former slaves with no land ownership and no options for work lived. Over the years, many freed black slaves moved in.<br />
<br />
Even before the first "favela" came into being, poor citizens were pushed away from downtown and forced to live in the far suburbs. However, most modern favelas appeared in the 1970s, due to rural exodus, when many people left rural areas of Brazil and moved to cities. Without finding a place to live, many people ended up in a favela.<br />
Census data released in December 2011 by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) shows that in 2010, about (6%) of the population lived in slums in Brazil. It means that 11.4 million of the 190 million people lived in the country areas of irregular occupation and lack of public services or urbanization - called by the IBGE of "subnormal agglomerations."<br />
The original favela was erected on the Morro de Castelo in Rio de Janeiro by the families of soldiers returning from the Canudos Campaign of 1897, to beg for their salaries.<br />
<br />
The term favela was coined in the late 1800's. At the time, 20,000 veteran soldiers were brought from the conflict against the settlers of Canudos, in the Eastern province of Bahia, to Rio de Janeiro and left with no place to live. When they served the army in Bahia, those soldiers had been familiar with Canudos's Favela Hill — a name referring to favela, a skin-irritating tree in the spurge family indigenous to Bahia, Jatropha phyllacantha (or else the related faveleira tree, Cnidoscolus quercifolius). When they settled in the Providência [Providence] hill in Rio de Janeiro, they nicknamed the place Favela hill from their common reference, thereby calling a slum a favela for the first time.

  • The Candelaria Church is an important historical church in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. It was built and decorated during a long period (1775 to the end of the 19th century) and combines a Baroque façade with a Neoclassical and Neo-Renaissance inner decoration.<br />
<br />
The magnificent wall paintings inside the Church were entrusted to the Brazilian João Zeferino da Costa, painter and professor at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, and these are considered his masterpieces. <br />
<br />
On the ceiling of the church there are six panels that tell the early history of the Church of Candelaria, since the founding of the trip until the first consecration, while the dome paintings representing the Virgin, the virtues and figures of the Old Testament (Jesse, Isaiah, David and Solomon).
