Paço da Liberdade, Palace and museum in central Curitiba, Brazil.
The Paço da Liberdade is a palace in downtown Curitiba featuring neoclassical and art nouveau design elements expressed through its brick masonry structure. The building contains multiple exhibition spaces and serves as a public cultural venue today.
The palace opened in 1916 under Mayor Cândido de Abreu and served as Curitiba's city hall for over 50 years. The municipal government moved to different headquarters in 1969, which led to the building's conversion to cultural use.
The building now functions as a cultural center hosting exhibitions and events that showcase Brazilian art and heritage to the public. You can experience contemporary and traditional works that reflect the community's creative practices.
The palace is centrally located in Curitiba and easy to reach on foot with good public transit nearby. Visitors can explore the spaces independently or join guided tours that provide insight into the architecture and collections.
Archaeological discoveries during renovation work revealed remains of the original market that once occupied this site until 1914, before the palace was constructed. These findings show an earlier chapter of the location's past.
