Tribunal de Justiça

The Tribunal de Justiça is a neoclassical courthouse in downtown Maceió distinguished by tall columns and balanced facades. It functions as the highest court for Alagoas state and sits on Praça Marechal Deodoro in the historic center.

The court was established in 1892 and marked a turning point for Alagoas' judicial system by creating independent state-level jurisdiction. Since then the institution has grown into a central part of the region's governance structure.

The building displays classical Portuguese-influenced architecture with formal proportions that define its presence in downtown Maceió. Its design reflects the importance this institution holds in local civic life.

The building is accessible on weekdays, though visitors should wear formal clothing as it is an active courthouse. The best time to visit is during morning or early afternoon hours when activity is most visible.

The institution operates a solar installation in Delmiro Gouveia that generates power to support courthouse operations. This energy project makes the facility a pioneer in renewable energy use within Brazil's judicial system.
