Palace Itamaraty
Originally owed by Francisco Jose da Rocha Leao, Count of Itamaraty. In indigenours tupi language itá means stone, mará means sea and ty means water. Therefore, the word itamaraty means water of rocky sea.
The Palace houses a magnificent collection of works of art, including paintings by Pedro Américo and Rugendas, on the front reflecting pool, by Bruno Giorgio, composed of five marble blocks representing the five continents. Gardens designed by Burle Marx and antique and modern pices also decorate the interior palace. Highlights inside the building include tapestry, the historic painting O grito do Ipiranga, depicting the proclamation of the independence of Brazil, by Pedro Americo, and an mimmense hall with no columns on the ground floor, displaying an eliptical staircase.
