Solar da Beira is a public building designed in the neoclassical architectural style that integrates the Ver-o-Peso Complex. It is located in the Brazilian city of Belém, Pará, in the Cidade Velha neighborhood, on the shores of Guajará Bay. There is no record of its construction, but it is believed to have been built in the 19th century, shortly after the Ver-o-Peso Market, which dates back to 1901. At the beginning of the 20th century, it housed the Revenue Office.[1][2]
In 1985, during Almir Gabriel's municipal administration, the Solar da Beira was remodeled for the first time and transformed into a restaurant and cultural space. In 1998, during the municipal administration of Edmilson Rodrigues, the facade of Solar da Beira was also renovated.[3][4]
It currently houses two exhibitions, one of canvases and ceramics and the other inspired by the Círio de Nazaré.[2]
