Centro histórico, near Praça Amílcar Cabral, Mindelo · Centro

Built as the Palácio do Governo in the colonial era, this is the grandest building on Mindelo’s historic core and a stop on every walking tour of the centre. Interior access has been restricted in recent years: the exterior and its tower are the sight; check locally about exhibitions. Needs local confirmation: whether the interior has reopened.
