Palácio de la Ravardière, Colonial palace in São Luís, Brazil
The Palácio de La Ravardière features a symmetrical two-story facade with decorated stucco elements and intricate balconies on the second floor.
Built around 1689 as the Casa de Câmara e Cadeia, the palace underwent several modifications before becoming the current São Luís municipal government headquarters.
The palace displays a bronze bust of Daniel de La Touche, sculpted by Bibiano Silva, commemorating the French captain who established São Luís in 1612.
Located on Avenida D. Pedro II next to the Palácio dos Leões, the building maintains regular office hours as the active city hall administration center.
The structure combines lowered arch windows on the ground floor with curved pediments on the upper level, reflecting the evolution of Brazilian colonial architecture.
