Palácio do Comércio, Art Deco commercial building in Historic Center, Porto Alegre, Brazil
The Palácio do Comércio features stone pillars supporting a marquee that extends around the eight-story monolithic structure with decorated vertical window strips on each facade.
German-Brazilian architect Joseph Franz Seraph Lutzenberger designed this building, which opened in 1940 with President Getúlio Vargas attending the inauguration ceremony.
The building serves as headquarters for the Commercial Association of Porto Alegre and the Federation of Commercial and Service Associations of Rio Grande do Sul.
The structure contains four elevators and was the first building in Rio Grande do Sul state to incorporate a central air conditioning system.
Each face of the building displays a large caduceus symbol positioned above the upper cornice, marking its status as a center of commerce.
