History
editBuilt in 1777 in colonial style as the residence of the Viceroy of Brazil, the palace was erected during the transfer of the Capital from Salvador, Bahia to Rio de Janeiro.[1] Over the years the palace housed the Tribunal da Relação (1808), the Tribunal do Desembargo, (1812), the Federal Senate (1831) and the Court of Justice (1833). In 1967 the Solar do Marquês do Lavradio was ceded by the State of Rio de Janeiro to the Sociedade Brasileira de Belas Artes SBBA (Brazilian Society of Fine Arts).[2] In 1985 the palace was listed by the State Institute for Cultural Heritage.[1] Renovated between 2010 and 2014, the Solar do Marquês do Lavradio is one of the landmarks of the Central Zone of Rio de Janeiro.
