The Guanabara Palace (Portuguese: Palácio Guanabara, formerly known as Paço Isabel) is located on Pinheiro Machado Street (formerly Guanabara Street), in the Laranjeiras neighborhood (bairro), in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro, capital of the homonymous state. It is the official seat of the government of the State of Rio de Janeiro.
