29 de Março palace, Government palace in Civic Center, Curitiba, Brazil.

The 29 de Março palace is the seat of Curitiba's municipal government, located at Avenida Cândido de Abreu 817 in the Centro Cívico. Designed by Rubens Meister in a modern architectural style, it was inaugurated on 14 November 1969 by mayor Omar Sabbag, replacing the Paço da Liberdade as the city's administrative headquarters.

The palace was designed by Rubens Meister and inaugurated on 14 November 1969 by mayor Omar Sabbag, a sanitary engineer who had been the last mayor to work in the Paço da Liberdade, seat of the municipal government from 6 February 1916 to 13 November 1969. It was named after 29 March 1693, when Curitiba was founded as Vila Nossa Senhora da Luz dos Pinhais.

The palace's name marks Curitiba's founding: on 29 March 1693 the settlement was named Vila Nossa Senhora da Luz dos Pinhais. The date became the city's official birthday, and the building carries it as its address in local memory.

The palace stands at Avenida Cândido de Abreu 817 in the Centro Cívico, the administrative district north of the historic centre. It is the seat of Curitiba's municipal government, so access is tied to official business rather than tourism; check opening arrangements before visiting.
