National Palace, Presidential palace in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
The National Palace extends over 18,000 square meters with a neoclassical design, featuring a central dome and double-height columns along its main entrance.
Construction began in 1944 under Rafael Trujillo's order, with Italian architect Guido D'Alessandro designing the plans, and the palace opened on August 16, 1947.
The interior contains several ceremonial rooms including the Ambassadors Hall, the Caryatids Hall, and the Green Room, each decorated with different European artistic influences.
The building spans three floors, with general services on the first level, government offices on the second, and formal reception halls on the third level.
Two bronze lions guard the main entrance's marble double staircase, leading to a vestibule with a mural depicting Christopher Columbus's arrival to the island.
