This magnificent staircase was shipped across the Atlantic in pieces more than 125 years ago.
Located inside the Palácio da Liberdade in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, the grand staircase was designed in Brazil and ordered through a Belgian firm before being transported in sections and assembled inside the palace.
Its elaborate Art Nouveau ironwork features intricate floral patterns, sweeping curved railings, and marble steps. The staircase used an innovative detachable construction system known as the Joly system, considered a major technological advancement at the time.
The palace opened in 1898 as the seat of government of Minas Gerais, with interiors reflecting the European architectural influences of the late 19th century.
Today, its extraordinary staircase remains one of the palace's most remarkable architectural features.
