This palace is famous as the venue of the last ball of the Brazilian Empire, organized by the Viscount de Ouro Preto in honor of the crew of the Chilean warship, Almirante Cochrane on 9 November 1899. From 1913 through 1998, the Brazilian Navy used this landmark, which is currently under the administration of the Historical and Cultural Heritage Division.
