National Palace, Presidential palace in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
The National Palace features white walls, classical architecture, and a central dome that defines the grand governmental structure in downtown Port-au-Prince.
Designed by Georges Baussan and completed in 1920, the palace replaced previous governmental buildings that occupied the same location since the French colonial period.
The National Palace represents governmental authority in Haiti, serving as the primary venue for presidential ceremonies and diplomatic receptions until its damage in 2010.
The palace grounds occupy a significant area facing Place L'Ouverture near the Champs de Mars, with the main entrance accessible from the public square.
After the 2010 earthquake destroyed the palace, its collapsed central dome became a symbol of Haiti's challenges and determination for reconstruction.
