Palace Museum Olímpio Campos

Tucked right into the heart of Aracaju's bustling Centro district, on the historic Praça Fausto Cardoso, stands the grand Palace Museum Olímpio Campos. This isn't just any old building; it was the actual seat of state government for decades, and that political energy still seems to linger in its ornate halls. Stepping inside feels like a direct trip back to the 19th century, surrounded by the lavish furnishings and personal artifacts of Sergipe's former governors. It’s a place where you can almost hear the echoes of important decisions being made.
