Palácio da Redenção, Government palace in João Pessoa, Brazil.
Palácio da Redenção is the state government headquarters located in central João Pessoa, housing administrative offices and ceremonial spaces. The complex features various halls, gardens, and a memorial dedicated to regional history.
The building began as a Jesuit residence in 1586, serving religious and educational purposes for the community. In 1771, it transitioned into a government seat when regional captains established it as their official residence.
The grounds serve as a gathering place where locals and visitors connect with regional history through monuments and green spaces. The site holds symbolic value for Paraíba residents as both the center of state power and a memorial site.
The palace welcomes visitors on guided tours through administrative spaces and surrounding gardens. Arriving early helps you explore the main areas at a comfortable pace without large crowds.
The original site included São Gonçalo Chapel, which was removed in 1929 to make way for the current gardens. This change shows how the site evolved from a religious center to an administrative one.
