Paço Municipal de Juiz de Fora

Paço Municipal de Juiz de Fora, Municipal administrative building in Juiz de Fora, Brazil.

The Paço Municipal de Juiz de Fora is an administrative building with neoclassical design elements that stretches across Rio Branco Avenue and Halfeld Street. Inside, it houses government departments and the Cultural Foundation Alfredo Ferreira Lage, along with event spaces.

The building was constructed in 1918 by architect Rafael Arcuri to serve as the city hall. It functioned in this role until 1997, when municipal operations relocated to a newer structure.

The building's cultural role today centres on the Fundação Cultural Alfredo Ferreira Lage (Funalfa), a municipal cultural body housed there after the city hall moved out in 1997. The Anfiteatro João Carriço, a film projection room, also operates in the building, and the JF Informação municipal service desk receives residents.

The building stands at the corner of Avenida Rio Branco and Rua Halfeld, its main front facing the avenue. It remains in use by municipal bodies, including the JF Informação service and the Funalfa cultural foundation, so access to the interior follows office hours rather than a visitor circuit.

The building stands on a corner bought by the municipal administration in 1852, when it held the town council and the local jail; that earlier structure was demolished around 1915 to make way for the Paço. The side facade was enlarged in 1934 and the interior in 1944, completing Rafael Arcuri's design.
