Government Palace of Peru
The construction started on January 18th 1535, in fact, the same day that the Spanish conquerors founded Lima. However, there was a second construction in 1926 because more than one fire destroyed the original design. The second construction finished in 1938. It is located at Plaza de Armas (main square) of Lima which is also called Major square by Rimac river.
The palace has beautiful ceremonial rooms, some of them such as the Golden salon were constructed based on the existing Versalles palace in France. Most of its facilities were built with French style.
