The Royal Library was considered one of the most important libraries in Europe at that time. This irreparable loss to the Portuguese was the impetus for moving many of its contents to Brazil. The collection was brought in three stages, the first being in 1810 and two in 1811. The library of 60,000 books was accommodated initially in the upstairs rooms of the Third Order of Carmel Hospital (in accordance with the charter of July 27, 1810), located in the old back street of Carmel close to the <a href="/wiki/Pa%C3%A7o_Imperial" title="Paço Imperial">Imperial Palace</a>. The facilities, however, were considered inadequate and as well potentially jeopardizing the valuable collection. Therefore, on 29 October 1810, a date that was assigned to the official founding of the National Library, Prince Regent John (later King <a href="/wiki/John_VI_of_Portugal" title="John VI of Portugal">John VI of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves</a>) issued a decree which provided that a royal library should be established from the funds of the royal treasury.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Expansion">Expansion</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Library_of_Brazil&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Expansion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bibliotecanacional2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Bibliotecanacional2.jpg/220px-Bibliotecanacional2.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Bibliotecanacional2.jpg/330px-Bibliotecanacional2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Bibliotecanacional2.jpg/440px-Bibliotecanacional2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="800" /></a><figcaption>Main entrance to the library</figcaption></figure> <p>The works for the new building of the library only took place in 1813, when the collection was transferred.
