Palácio Lauro Sodré, Art museum in Cidade Velha, Belém, Brazil

The Lauro Sodré Palace features a symmetrical neoclassical design with two stories and a prominent cornice supporting the roof structure.

Governor Manuel Bernardo de Melo e Castro commissioned Italian architect Giuseppe Antonio Landi to design this governmental palace, completed in 1771.

Since 1994, the palace functions as the Pará State Museum, displaying regional art collections and hosting temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

Located within the Feliz Lusitânia Tourist Complex, the museum maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours in multiple languages.

The palace witnessed the first procession of Círio de Nazaré in 1797, marking the beginning of northern Brazil's largest religious celebration.
