Asmara President's Office

The Asmara President's Office exhibits Italian neoclassical architecture with marble interiors, grand colonnades, and Renaissance-style stairs leading to the second floor.

The building transformed from an Italian colonial symbol to a National Museum under Ethiopian rule before becoming the modern presidential headquarters of independent Eritrea.
