Palácio João Brígido, Historic palace in central Fortaleza, Brazil.
The palace features neoclassical door frames, Art Deco elements on the frontispiece, and a monumental staircase leading to the east veranda.
Built in the first half of the 19th century, the building served as the episcopal residence from 1860 to 1973 before becoming Fortaleza's city hall.
