Casa de Ferro (Iron House) is a unique prefabricated structure made entirely of iron plates and bolts, designed by Gustave Eiffel and shipped to Mozambique in the late 19th century. Originally intended as a governor's residence, it now serves as a cultural center. Visitors can view the exterior's intricate ironwork and step inside to see rotating art exhibitions and cultural events. The building stands out for its metallic sheen and delicate detailing, a stark contrast to the surrounding masonry buildings.
