National Palace, Government building in San Salvador, El Salvador
The National Palace features four main colored rooms and 101 secondary rooms within its Neoclassical architecture constructed with European imported materials.
Built between 1905 and 1911, the palace replaced an earlier structure destroyed by fire in 1889 and was funded through coffee export taxes.
The Red Room serves for diplomatic ceremonies, while the Yellow Room functions as the presidential office, reflecting the building's governmental significance.
Visitors can explore the palace's 104 rooms without admission fees, following its declaration as a National Monument in 1980.
The exterior decoration includes statues of Christopher Columbus and Isabella I of Castile, gifts from King Alfonso XIII of Spain in 1924.
