This ornate baroque palace once served as the seat of Spanish colonial government and remains one of Antigua's most impressive architectural statements with its elegant courtyard and detailed stone facades. The building's richly decorated rooms showcase period furniture and colonial-era artifacts that bring the region's administrative history vividly to life. Walking through its corridors feels like stepping directly into 18th-century Guatemala's power structure.
