Palácio dos Jequitibás, Municipal palace in Campinas, Brazil
The Palácio dos Jequitibás is a municipal building in Campinas featuring 18 stories covered with white marble and concrete elements. The structure spreads across multiple connected blocks that form the entire complex.
Construction started in 1966 following designs by two architects and finished in 1968. The project was part of Campinas' modern development in the mid-20th century.
The palace takes its name from jequitibá trees that once grew on this land and hold symbolic meaning for the city. Visitors can sense this connection to the place's past when walking through the building.
The main entrance is located on Avenida Anchieta and offers public access to different sections of the building. Visitors should check opening hours in advance and ask at the information desk about available areas.
The building is not a single block but consists of three distinct sections with underground levels beneath. The Red Hall located in the side wings is a notable interior space that many visitors overlook.
