Lonely Planet review for Paço Imperial

Built in 1743, the Paço Imperial hosts worthwhile multimedia exhibitions. Originally built as a governor’s residence, it later served as the home to Dom João and his family when the Portuguese royals fled Napoleon and transferred the throne to the colony. In 1888 Princesa Isabel proclaimed the Freedom from Slavery Act from the palace’s steps. In addition to exhibitions, there are several restaurants, and a café and music store on the 1st floor.
