Cúria Metropolitana de Porto Alegre, Administrative palace of Porto Alegre Archdiocese in Centro, Brazil.

The Cúria Metropolitana is the administrative headquarters of the Porto Alegre Archdiocese located in the Centro district. The building displays a classical facade with smooth columns, a triangular pediment, and regularly spaced windows framed by a balustrade.

The building was ordered by Bishop Sebastião Dias Laranjeira to house the old Episcopal Seminary; the French architect Villain drew the plans and the foundation stone was laid in 1865. Villain died shortly before completion, and the German Johann Grünewald continued the works, giving the design neo-Gothic finishes; it was finished in 1888. The Archdiocese of Porto Alegre was created in 1910 by the bull Praedecessorum Nostrorum of Pius X.

The name refers to the metropolitan administrative role of the Porto Alegre Archdiocese. Visitors can observe how the building's location and classical design reflect the religious importance of this institution to the city.

The building is generally accessible during daytime hours, though opening times may vary depending on religious activities and events. Visitors should check ahead or drop by to confirm current availability before planning a visit.
