Justice Palace of Lima, Supreme Court building in downtown Lima, Peru.
The Justice Palace of Lima features an extensive neoclassical facade with grand columns and intricate architectural details spanning an entire city block.
The construction of this judicial center began during the government of Augusto Leguia in 1929 and reached completion under President Oscar Benavides in 1938.
The building design draws direct inspiration from the Law Courts of Brussels, reflecting Peru's integration of European architectural influences in governmental structures.
The Palace functions as the primary location for Supreme Court proceedings, with restricted access limited to individuals involved in legal matters.
The basement level contains original prison cells, demonstrating the building's historical dual purpose as both a courthouse and temporary detention facility.
