Academia Alagoana de Letras, Language regulator institution in Maceió, Brazil.

The Academia Alagoana de Letras is a literary academy in Maceió whose permanent seat is the Casa Jorge de Lima, an important historic monument. Like the Brazilian Academy of Letters, it has 40 numbered chairs, each honoring a notable figure from Alagoas, living or deceased.

The institution was founded on November 1, 1919, with Dr. Moreira e Silva as its first president. It operated from temporary locations for roughly 50 years before establishing its permanent home.

The academy has 40 numbered chairs, modeled on the Brazilian Academy of Letters, but each chair honors a distinguished figure from Alagoas who may be living or deceased. Members have included Lêdo Ivo, lexicographer Aurélio Buarque de Hollanda Ferreira, former president Fernando Collor de Mello and Francisco Alberto Sales.

The institution welcomes visitors and researchers interested in exploring its collections and attending literary events. It helps to check in advance about scheduled activities or guided tours that may enhance your visit.

The academy's permanent seat is called Casa Jorge de Lima, named after the Alagoan poet, and is listed as an important historic monument of Maceió. For its first 50 years the academy met in spaces lent by other institutions before moving into this house.
