Palácio da Justiça, Courthouse in Glicério, São Paulo, Brazil
The Palácio da Justiça is a courthouse occupying an entire city block in downtown São Paulo, distinguished by four corner towers and a grand entrance facing Clóvis Square. The neoclassical building features a hall with polished red granite columns from Itu and marble appointments that lead to the main ceremonial spaces.
Construction began in 1920 under architect Ramos de Azevedo and the building was initially inaugurated in 1933. The upper floors were completed in 1942, finishing the original design.
The building embodies the role of law and justice in the city through its monumental design and formal spaces. Its grand hall with polished red granite columns from Itu speaks to the importance placed on this institution by the community.
The building is open to visitors Monday through Friday from 1 PM to 5 PM, with guided tours available at 2 PM by advance reservation. Plan enough time to explore the main chambers and decorated halls throughout the space.
An extra floor was inserted between the second and third stories because caseloads grew significantly during the 1920s. This modification reveals how the building adapted to changing needs.
