Museum of Flags - IBRAM
About This Museum
You won't believe what this place used to be—it's a former jail and courthouse from the 1700s! Walking through its thick stone walls and heavy wooden doors, you can almost feel the weight of history. It’s not just about Brazilian flags; the collection tells the entire dramatic story of how this region was founded. I spent ages just looking at the old maps and legal documents, all preserved right here in the heart of Goiás.
Collection Highlights
The original municipal standard from 1739 is a must-see, alongside fascinating judicial records from the colonial era and intricate maps that charted the unexplored interior.
Visitor Information
It's right on the main square (Praça Brasil Caiado) in Goiás Velho's historic center—you really can't miss it. Just check their hours before you go, as places like this sometimes close for lunch.
Architecture & Building
A classic, imposing Portuguese colonial building made of thick stone, with a simple, sturdy facade that perfectly captures its past life as a public jail.
