House of Senador Canedo

The House of Senador Canedo (Casa do Senador Canedo) is a historic residence and cultural center in Bela Vista de Goiás, Goiás, Brazil. It was built by Antônio Amaro da Silva Canedo (1844-1895), a merchant and politician of Goiás. The residence was a noted meeting place for regional politicians, members of the clergy, and travelers in the region. It now houses a cultural space to preserve the history of both Senator Canedo and the southern region of Goiás. The house is an outstanding example of 19th century residential architecture of the region. It was built in the austere Portuguese colonial style of an earlier period, and lacks the ornamentation of Brazilian homes of the late 19th century. It was listed as a historic structure by the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN) in 1986.
