Palácio da Liberdade, Government palace in Belo Horizonte, Brazil
The Palácio da Liberdade exhibits eclectic architecture, combining Neoclassical and Art Nouveau elements across its three-floor structure with ornate decorative details.
Built in 1897, this palace served as the headquarters of Minas Gerais state government until the mid-20th century when administrative functions relocated.
The palace interior features golden bronze chandeliers, crystal lights, decorative panels, and Belgian-crafted staircases that represent Brazilian architectural excellence.
Visitors can explore the palace and gardens Wednesday through Friday from 12:00 to 17:30, and weekends from 10:00 to 17:00 without entrance fees.
The surrounding gardens, originally designed by Paul Villon in English style, contain decorative sculptures and fountains that complement the palace architecture.
