Memorial Luiz Carlos Prestes, Modern architectural structure in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The Memorial Luiz Carlos Prestes features curved walls and large open spaces designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, incorporating elements of Brazilian modern architecture.
Construction of the memorial began on January 3, 1998, and after extensive negotiations regarding the land, the structure opened its doors on October 28, 2017.
The memorial contains 135 photographs provided by Anita Leocadia Prestes, documenting ninety years of her father's life through a comprehensive photographic collection.
Located at Avenida Ipiranga 10 in the Praia de Belas district, the memorial includes a 25-seat auditorium and exhibition spaces for artistic presentations.
The curved walls of the building represent the Prestes Column, a military movement that traveled 25,000 kilometers across Brazil between 1925 and 1927.
