Palacio de Ferro

The Iron Palace, commonly known as the Palacio de Ferro, is a historical landmark in Angola. The Palacio de Ferro is a magnificent structure in Luanda, Angola's capital. The Palacio de Ferro is thought to have been constructed in the 1890s. It is also supposed to have been created by someone connected to Gustave Eiffel, the Portuguese architect who designed some of the world's most famous structures, including the Statue of Liberty in New York City and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The building is currently receiving renovated with finance from Brazilian construction companies and income from Angola's burgeoning oil trade. It is regarded as a symbol of the city's revival by the country's Ministry of Culture, and will soon be converted into a restaurant or a diamond museum.
