Solar dos Abacaxis, Manor house in Cosme Velho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Neoclassical building spans 1,200 square meters within a 1,500-square-meter property, featuring cast-iron pineapples decorating the first-floor window balconies.

Built in 1843 by Comendador Borges da Costa, the mansion was designed by Brazilian architect José Maria Jacinto Rebelo, a former student of Grandjean de Montigny.

From 1944, poet Anna Amélia and historian Marcos Carneiro de Mendonça transformed the residence into a meeting place for artists and intellectuals.

The cultural institution now operates in downtown Rio de Janeiro, offering contemporary art exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs for various audiences.

The building received its name from the fourteen decorative cast-iron pineapples installed during a 1940 renovation by Anna Amélia and Marcos Carneiro.
