Palácio Rio Branco, Government palace in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.
The Rio Branco Palace features a façade that combines baroque and modern elements, with rounded contours and floral motifs in its carvings and external paintings.
Construction began in 1915 under Mayor Joaquim Macedo Bitencourt, with the first stone laid on August 3rd, and the building was completed in April 1917.
The palace interior decoration was entrusted to painter Carlos Baraldi, while furniture and tapestries were commissioned from prestigious workshops including Lyceu de Artes e Ofícios.
The palace currently houses the Mayor's Office, Government Secretariat, Civil House Secretariat, Social Communication Coordination, and Legislative Technical Advisory departments.
In 1992, the palace underwent renovation work that replaced all woodwork and modernized plumbing and electrical systems while maintaining its original architectural style.
