Palácio da Justiça do Amazonas

The Palace of Justice is a historic building located on Avenida Eduardo Ribeiro, in the city center of Manaus, in Brazil. It is located behind the Amazon Theater and has more than two thousand square meters of built area in stone and brick masonry. It was erected in the 19th century specifically to house the facilities of the Judiciary of the State of Amazonas at the time. Inaugurated in 1900, it is one of the main examples of classical architecture from the golden age of rubber. It was listed as a Historical and Artistic Heritage of Amazonas in 1980, and the names given to the rooms that make it up pay homage to personalities linked to its establishment and to the Judiciary of the state. The building is currently managed by the State Department of Culture (SEC) and functions as the Palácio da Justiça Cultural Center (CCPJ). The space is open to the public and also promotes art through exhibitions, musical performances, theater, cinema, and lectures. The Palace of Justice receives around 20,000 visitors a year.
