About
Quick facts: More than 700 workers labored around the clock to complete this presidential palace in just three years. Its distinctive pink facade comes from a local rose-colored stone that shifts hues throughout the day depending on the sunlight.
Highlights: The palace sits on the exact spot where Paraguay's first president, Carlos Antonio López, once had his private residence, making it a direct link to the nation's earliest days of independence. A little-known tunnel system beneath the building reportedly connects to the nearby Pantheon of Heroes, though its full extent has never been publicly mapped.
