Palacio Piria, Supreme Court building in Plaza de Cagancha, Montevideo, Uruguay
The Palacio Piria features three floors with a marble staircase that splits at the first level, leading to different sections of the structure.
French architect Camille Gardelle designed this residence in 1917 for businessman Francisco Piria, who resided there until his death in 1933.
The Monument to Justice stands at the main entrance, and the building incorporates numerous esoteric symbols throughout its architectural elements.
The palace now houses the Supreme Court of Justice of Uruguay, with various judicial offices distributed across its three floors.
The second floor, which contained Piria's private quarters, maintains its original oval skylight and has been converted into administrative offices.
