Inaugurated in May 1926, the Tiradentes Palace (Palácio Tiradentes) stands as one of Rio de Janeiro’s most significant buildings. Its grand columns and allegorical rooftop statues make it instantly recognizable. Inside, the palace continues to impress with a huge stained-glass dome that bathes the interior in a kaleidoscope of colors. Today, the palace houses the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro, offering visitors a glimpse into the city’s political and architectural heritage.
