Bandeirantes Palace, Government office building in Morumbi, São Paulo, Brazil.
Bandeirantes Palace is an office and museum building in Morumbi with multiple floors housing administrative spaces and art collections. The structure features smooth exterior walls and architectural details inspired by Italian neoclassical design, giving it a formal appearance.
Construction began in 1954 under engineer Francisco da Nova Monteiro and the building became the seat of São Paulo's executive branch in 1964. This shift in function marked an important change in how the structure was used and who controlled it.
The palace displays Brazilian art and furnishings that reflect the region's heritage, and visitors can observe how the collection reveals what officials valued and preserved over time. The objects on display give a sense of São Paulo's artistic traditions and taste through different eras.
The palace is located on Avenida Morumbi 4500 and can be found through this address. Visitors should contact the administration for specific information about visiting conditions and access.
The structure originated as a university project by Italian architect Marcello Piacentini but was later converted into a government seat through expropriation. This unexpected transformation shows how an educational plan became a center of political power.
