- 2Carlos Vizeu Tile Panel
The tile panel by Carlos Vizeu adorns the Palácio Valenças with a striking large-scale composition executed by modernist artist Carlos Vizeu in the early 1960s.

On the main façade of Palácio Valenças sits a striking tilework panel employing trompe-l'oeil technique to create the optical illusion of a doorman standing guard.
