Palácio de Ondina, Official residence of the Governor in Ondina, Salvador, Brazil.
Palácio de Ondina is the official residence of the Governor, featuring classical architecture with prominent columns and well-balanced proportions. The building sits on elevated grounds overlooking All Saints Bay and is surrounded by maintained gardens.
The palace was built in 1967 and replaced the previous governor's seat at Palácio da Aclamação as the new administrative center. This transition marked a turning point in how Bahia's state government operated and presented itself.
The palace serves as a venue for state ceremonies and political gatherings that reflect the administrative power of Bahia. Visitors walking past can sense how this building functions as a center of governance for the region.
The interior is closed to visitors as it remains reserved for official government functions. However, you can view and photograph the exterior architecture and surrounding gardens during daylight hours.
Before the building was constructed in 1967, the grounds housed an administrative building for a botanical experimentation field. This shift from scientific use to political seat reveals an interesting transformation of the site's purpose.
