Praia’s Presidential Palace
A low tiled roof and a small central balcony give this civic building a balanced outline.
The story behind the place
Praia’s Presidential Palace stands in Plateau, the historic centre of Cabo Verde’s capital. The pale facade contrasts with a red-tiled roof and white window surrounds. A small balcony draws the eye to the centre of the building. Formerly associated with the colonial administration, the palace became part of the independent republic’s civic landscape. Its exterior offers a way to notice how older buildings can acquire new national meanings.
