Dili’s Government Palace
A long white arcade runs beneath red roofs at Dili’s Government Palace.
The story behind the place
Dili’s Government Palace is part of the city’s civic centre. The government’s account of a children’s visit describes the prime minister’s office and Council of Ministers meeting room within it. The long pale building has a rhythm of shaded arches below rectangular upper windows, with red roofs giving the skyline a warm outline. Look for the slightly raised central block, then follow the arcade towards the wings. The building’s colonial-era architecture now forms part of the institutions of independent Timor-Leste.
