Minster
Rio de Janeiro is one of the world’s most famous cities. Established around 1560, it was initially the site of fierce battles between France and Portugal for control of the region. It benefited from the mineral boom in Minas Gerais, as all of the gold, silver and gems had to pass through Rio on their way to Europe. The city boomed, and became the colonial capital in 1763. In 1808, the king of Portugal and his court were forced to flee Napoleon’s troops and established the capital of the Portuguese Empire in Rio. This arrangement lasted until 1821, when the court returned to Portugal.
