Palácio de Lahane, Portuguese colonial palace in Dili, East Timor.
The one-story pink building features octagonal towers at its corners and stands in the mountains one mile south of central Dili.
The palace construction began in 1860 under Governor Afonso de Castro, with major renovations adding colonial art deco elements in the 1930s.
The palace holds formal ceremonies and state receptions, preserving East Timorese governmental traditions since its restoration after the 1999 independence.
The palace functions as a reception space for the East Timorese government, located at coordinates -8.574295 latitude and 125.58445 longitude.
During World War II, Japanese forces held Governor Manuel Ferreira de Carvalho at the palace, where he received special food rations on Portuguese holidays.
