Casa Presidencial, Presidential building in San Jacinto district, El Salvador.

The Casa Presidencial exhibits Art Nouveau architecture with ornate details, symmetrical facades, and extensive gardens surrounding the main structure.

Construction of the presidential residence began in 1911 after the government purchased the Quinta Natalia property under President Manuel Enrique Araujo's administration.

The main halls display a collection of paintings created between 1957 and 1959 by Chilean artist Luis Vergara Ahumada during Lieutenant Colonel Lemus's presidency.

The building offers guided tours through its corridors and historical rooms, including the Oval Room and Hall of Honor, from Monday to Sunday between 9 AM and 4 PM.

Originally designed as a normal school for male teachers in 1924, the building transformed into the presidential headquarters in the early 1930s under General Hernández Martínez.
