Located by the river passing through Asunción is this beautiful palace which is the workplace of the President and is also the seat of the Government of Paraguay. Built by order of Carlos Antonio López to be the residence for his son, General Francisco Solano López, this is how the name came to be. Unfortunately Francisco never had the chance to live in the palace due to being killed in battle during the war of the triple alliance. #history #architecture #palace #president #governmentbuilding #government #asuncion #paraguay #southamerica #offthebeatenpath
