Villa Zoila, Presidential villa in El Paraíso, Venezuela.
Villa Zoila features three main sections connected by corridors, including social areas, private rooms, and service quarters, with a central tower rising above.
President Cipriano Castro commissioned the construction of Villa Zoila in 1903, naming it after his wife Zoila Rosa Martinez de Castro.
The villa incorporates Pan de Bois construction techniques, combining wooden structures with brick masonry and Art Nouveau decorative elements throughout the facades.
The building now functions as the Military Historical Museum of the National Guard, displaying artifacts and documents from Venezuela's security forces.
The structure includes a pagoda-style observation tower with a distinctive hipped roof, emerging from the second section of the building.
