Solar do Barão de Guajará

Solar Barão de Guajará, also known as Casa à Praça Pedro II (English: House on Pedro II Square), is a manor house located in Belém, the capital of the state of Pará, Brazil, more specifically in the Dona Tomázia Perdigão Street. It was built in the 19th century and has three floors, the last of which is smaller. The inner courtyard shows elements of the Moorish influence on Iberian architecture. The manor house was once owned by Antônio Lacerda de Chermont, the Viscount of Arari, before being transferred to his niece, who was married to Domingos Raiol, the Baron of Guajará. It was acquired by the City Hall during the 1920s and later donated to the Historic and Geographic Institute of Pará. In 1970, it was reopened after a series of renovations and became the Barão de Guarajá Library and the institute's headquarters. In 1950, the manor house was listed by the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN), with inscription number 274, through process 327-T-1943.
