Palácio da Justiça do Amazonas

The Palácio da Justiça do Amazonas is a two-story classical courthouse located in central Manaus, occupying about 2,500 square meters of space. The building features wrought iron gates imported from Glasgow and interior rooms finished to resemble marble surfaces.

Construction of this courthouse began in 1894 under Governor Eduardo Ribeiro and was completed on April 21, 1900. The building was completed during a period of strong economic growth and cultural development in the city.

The palace honors important judicial figures from the state through names displayed throughout its rooms and corridors. The mahogany and jacaranda wood furnishings show the care taken in creating a space of prestige and respect.

The building sits directly behind the Teatro Amazonas, making it easy to locate while exploring this part of the city. Since it remains an active courthouse, visitor access may be limited during certain hours or for ongoing legal proceedings.

The building houses a carillon clock from the 1920s, a rare piece of timekeeping technology for the region. The clock rings at various times of day, creating an unexpected link between the judicial institution and musical tradition.
