It is the largest palace in Brazil and one of the largest in Latin America, with 50,000 m² of built area and six floors, divided into 440 apartments and 13 large rooms up to 10 meters high. The dome of the Mauá hall became the second largest in the world, 30 m high and 50 m in diameter.
The pre-assembled structure was commissioned by the Count d'Eu, which was built in the workshops of the Saint-Souver Lês Arras Corporation in France. The structure is inspired by the Crystal Palace in London and the Crystal Palace in Porto.
