Palaces to visit Brazil

The neoclassical Potengi Palace dates from 1865. The Maranhão Theatre dates from 1904. The Palácio Potengi cultural space, or simply Palácio Potengi or Palácio da Cultura, is an imposing historical building dating from the 19th century located in Praça Sete de Setembro (September Square). The building, in neoclassical style, was the seat of government until the 1980s, and previously housed the State Assembly. The building is classified in the IPHAN. Today, it houses the Pinacoteca of the State of Rio Grande do Norte.

This large building, discovered on the road by arriving from Rio, was built in the 1940 s in a style reminiscent of the Norman building. It was intended to be the largest casino in South America. Some time later, the game was banned in Brazil and the former casino was converted into a luxury hotel. Today, the rooms have become apartments and the hotel also has numerous seminars and congresses in its conventions in Hollywood style. These are the lounges you can visit.
