Edifício da Alfândega, Historic customs building in downtown Florianópolis, Brazil.
The Edifício da Alfândega features three sections with a central body, pediment, and two side warehouses with independent roofs on rectangular foundations.
Construction of the customs building began in 1874 under João Tomé da Silva's administration to replace a previous structure destroyed by fire in 1866.
The ground floor houses the Santa Catarina Plastic Artists Association gallery, presenting exhibitions of regional artists throughout the year.
Visitors can purchase local handicrafts including bobbin lace, artisanal cachaça, and clay items at the Santa Catarina Handicraft Store inside the building.
The building's facade incorporates Doric columns, profiled cornices, and decorative porcelain vases positioned on both floors of the neoclassical structure.
