Town Hall of Feira de Santana, Government building in Feira de Santana, Brazil.
The Town Hall of Feira de Santana is a two-story building with a rectangular floor plan decorated with neoclassical details on its facade. It stands at an important corner in the city center and functions as the main administrative hub for municipal services.
The building was designed by engineer Acciolly Ferreira da Silva in 1920 and completed in 1926 during Arnold Ferreira da Silva's administration. Its construction reflected the city's growth and modernization during that decade.
The town hall was renamed in honor of Maria Quitéria (1792–1853), a heroine of the Brazilian War of Independence. The building's official name is Paço Municipal Maria Quitéria, and the name is used in city signage and documents.
The building is located at the intersection of Senhor dos Passos Avenue and Getúlio Vargas Avenue in the city center and is easy to find. It remains open for visitors during regular business hours, though it functions primarily as a working government office.
The building's construction cost more than 400 contos de réis (4000:000$000), about 75% of Feira de Santana's public works budget between 1921 and 1927. The engineer Acciolly Ferreira da Silva, who also designed the Municipal Market, gave the upper floor a wooden staircase curved in the shape of an "S".
