Palacio de López

The Palacio de López exhibits Neoclassical architecture with symmetrical design elements, featuring a grand facade that overlooks the Paraguay River.

Construction of the palace began in 1857 under English architect Alonso Taylor, reaching completion in 1892 after delays caused by the War of the Triple Alliance.

The palace represents Paraguay's architectural evolution during the late 19th century, incorporating European design principles into South American governmental architecture.

Visitors need written permission through protocol services to access the interior, though exterior photography remains possible from designated public areas.

The palace incorporates local Paraguayan materials, including regional stones and wood, while following European architectural standards of the period.
