Aquiraz Town Hall and Prison, Colonial museum in Aquiraz, Brazil.

The Aquiraz Town Hall and Prison is a small two-storey building on Praça Cônego Araripe, behind the church. Its lower floor, built in 1742, held the public jail; the upper floor, added in 1877 with labour from drought migrants, housed the town council and mayor's office. The building now contains the Museu Sacro São José de Ribamar.

The lower floor was built in 1742 to house Aquiraz's public jail. In 1877 the upper floor was added by drought migrants to hold the town council and municipal offices. The building was listed by Ceará state decree 16,237 on 30 November 1983, and since 27 September 1967 it has housed the Sacred Art Museum of Aquiraz.

The building's lower floor held Aquiraz's public jail from 1742, while the upper floor, added in 1877 with labour from drought migrants, housed the town council and municipal chamber. The Jesuit estate supplied much of the sacred art now shown, and the site later held Ceará's first Latin school, then a cachaça distillery.

The location is at Praça Cônego Araripe 22 in central Aquiraz, making it easy to reach on foot from the main square. It is advisable to check current access arrangements or ask locally about visiting hours.

The building housed Aquiraz's first Latin school, later converted into a cachaça distillery before being shut down for sitting in an urban zone. The museum opened on 27 September 1967 through the efforts of Father José Hélio Paiva, who gathered rare pieces on his own and made them public.
