It was listed as a Historical and Artistic Heritage of Amazonas in 1980, and the names given to the rooms that make it up pay homage to personalities linked to its establishment and to the Judiciary of the state.

[3][2] On April 18, 1894, Governor Eduardo Ribeiro signed a contract with the firm Moers & Moreton, for 654 contos and 259,933 réis, for the construction of the Palace of Justice, a two-story building with an imposing façade of classical architectural lines, with more than five thousand square meters of built area in stone and brick masonry, specifically intended for the facilities of the Judiciary of the State of Amazonas.

The structure of the building, the masonry work on the two floors, and the framing of the roof were practically finished when Eduardo Ribeiro handed over the government to his successor Fileto Pires Ferreira on July 23, 1896.

The cracks in the walls were corrected, and the building's structures (whose stability was under threat) were consolidated by "reinforcing its foundations at all the protruding angles with stone and cement masonry blocks", braced "with iron ties".

It is one of the main examples of classical architecture from the golden age of the rubber cycle and its structural lines follow the Renaissance style.

[1] Over the years, it has undergone various conservation and restoration works, especially the one carried out between 2001 and 2002, and was inaugurated as the Palácio da Justiça Cultural Center in June 2006, thus deserving specific care and special attention from those who use it.
