Municipal Palace of Lima, Town hall in Plaza Mayor, Lima District, Peru
The building presents a neoclassical yellow facade with wooden balconies and galleries behind rounded arches across three main floors.
The structure, completed in 1944, replaced several previous buildings damaged by earthquakes since the initial construction in 1549 by master Diego de Torres.
The palace art gallery displays 600 works by Peruvian artists from the past two centuries, including paintings and historical artifacts.
Visitors can access the reception hall, mirror room, and library through guided tours to examine municipal documents and architectural features.
The palace contains an ancient Roman column reportedly from Emperor Nero's palace, connecting Lima's municipal center to classical antiquity.
