Legislative Palace of Guatemala, Legislative government building in Guatemala City, Guatemala
The Legislative Palace features an impressive 50-meter facade with 18 Ionic columns and copper Greco-Roman window ornamentations throughout its exterior walls.
Construction of the Legislative Palace began during President Lazaro Chacon's administration between 1926 and 1930, following earthquakes that devastated the area in 1917 and 1918.
The mahogany doors of the palace incorporate baroque, churrigueresque, and mudejar elements, reflecting Guatemala's diverse architectural influences throughout its construction.
The palace contains two main sections, with a spacious lobby leading to the session hall, reception room, and presidential office for governmental functions.
The building stands on the former site of the Economic Society of Friends of the Country, established in 1794, marking a transition in Guatemala's institutional development.
