Castelo da Ilha Fiscal ![]() The castle of Fiscal Island, in
Rio de Janeiro, designed by
engineer Adolpho José Del Vecchio
to the Ministry of Finance, who
wished to have a customs post
there. Del Vecchio has developed
an architectural design in neo-
Gothic style with inspiration from
14th century French chateaux. The
construction took almost eight
years and was made by the
Portuguese and slaves, being
completed in 1889, along with the
urbanization of the island. This photo has been seen 1219 times << Previous Next
