Palácio da Ponta Vermelha, Presidential residence in KaMpfumo district, Maputo, Mozambique
The Palácio da Ponta Vermelha features Greek Revival architecture with symmetrical design elements and grand columns throughout its exterior structure.
The building began as a warehouse for railway construction workers before becoming the Portuguese governor's residence and later the presidential palace after independence.
The palace functions as a central venue for state ceremonies, diplomatic receptions, and official events that shape Mozambique's national identity.
While the palace remains closed to general public access, visitors can observe its exterior architecture from designated viewing points in KaMpfumo district.
The name Ponta Vermelha, meaning Red Point, refers to the district's location rather than any physical characteristics of the presidential residence.
