Palace of the Eleven Windows, Historic site and modern art museum in Cidade Velha, Brazil.

The Palace of the Eleven Windows stands as a two-floor colonial building displaying symmetrical architecture and Portuguese design elements along the riverfront.

A sugar works master founded this residence in 1700, which later transformed into a military hospital in 1768 under Italian architect Giuseppe Landi's supervision.

The museum exhibits contemporary Brazilian art collections, featuring works from national artists such as Tarsila do Amaral and Rubens Gerchman since 2002.

Located within the Feliz Lusitania complex, visitors can combine their museum experience with nearby attractions including a sculpture garden and local restaurants.

The building served multiple roles throughout its existence, from a private residence to a military hospital, and currently functions as an art institution.
