Palacio Municipal, Quito, Government palace in Historic Center, Ecuador.
The Palacio Municipal stretches along the eastern side of Independence Square, featuring a modern architectural design with commercial spaces on the ground floor.
The current building replaced the 19th-century municipal palace in 1973, after the old structure was demolished in 1962 due to space limitations.
The Municipal Palace houses the Metropolitan Council chambers and administrative offices, serving as the center of local government operations in Quito.
The building provides parking for 8,000 vehicles and contains a city hall that accommodates up to 1,200 people for public events.
Architects Diego Banderas Vela and Juan Espinosa Páez designed the structure to integrate modern elements with the surrounding historical architecture.
