Galeria Pedro Chaves Barcellos, or simply Galeria Chaves, is one of the oldest shopping centers in Porto Alegre/RS. The historic building, built in the 1930s, is inspired by European palaces from the Renaissance period and is one of the main architectural and cultural highlights of the center of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.With great identification with the affective memory of the population of Porto Alegre, Galeria Chaves houses on its six floors shops, restaurants and various services, some of which are confused with the history of the city's commerce.
