A cold morning on the mountain road opens onto a white-washed façade and the hush of a city that once hosted emperors. The car eases into Petrópolis and the air, sharpened by the Atlantic Forest foothills, seems to hold conversations from another century. Visitors spill out to walk marble floors, ornate salons and a garden that still remembers formal promenades.
