The Palácio de Ferro sits right in downtown Luanda. Builders constructed this unique two-story palace entirely from iron. It features detailed metal balconies, grand pillars, and a bright yellow facade.
Local legend says French engineer Gustave Eiffel designed it. Story goes a storm blew the ship off course while heading to Madagascar. However, French builders actually made it for the 1889 Paris Exposition. It arrived in Luanda around 1902. A full restoration revived the building a few years ago. Today, it operates as a lively cultural center hosting art shows and live music.
