Palácio Rio Negro




This magnificant building has been the official residence of the govenor of Manaus since 1918.  Nowadays it is a really nice museum and art gallery.  The history of Manaus is very interesting, in the early 1900s the rubber industry exploded. Manaus became the most developed city in this remote region, with electricity, public trams, and European inspired architecture.
