Palácio Amarelo, Municipal chamber building in Petrópolis, Brazil.
The Palácio Amarelo displays neoclassical architecture with a yellow facade, decorative ceilings, and gardens in the center of Petrópolis.
Built in the late 19th century as a summer residence, the palace became the city council headquarters after negotiations with Baron of Guaraciaba in 1894.
The council chamber, named Salão Hermogênio Silva, features rococo decorations by sculptor Henrique Levy and ceiling paintings by José Huss.
The palace stands at Visconde de Mauá Square in the historical district, offering guided tours of its architectural and historical elements.
The building's adaptation from a private residence to a legislative house was supervised by engineer Harald Bodtker using English glass and Brazilian hardwoods.
