Government Palace of Merida

The old building that occupied the site of the current Government Palace, were the headquarters of the real houses, from where the rulers captained and had their dependencies.

The original building was demolished at the end of the 15th century to build the current one, a neoclassical building that respected the initial structure: two floors and an interior patio. It was inaugurated on September 1892, XNUMX.

Once you pass the main entrance of the building flanked by two agents, you enter the inner courtyard, where some of the current government offices are installed. Majestic steps lead you to the upper floor, where the most interesting visit begins.
