National Palace

Built in 1928, the National Palace (Palacio Nacional) stands as one of Cali’s most impressive buildings, commanding attention from its prominent position at the head of Caicedo Plaza. Designed by Belgian architect Joseph Martens, the four-story palace showcases a neoclassical style with an ornate, chalk-white façade. Topped with a slate-gray roof and dome, the structure exudes a sense of grandeur. Today, visitors can admire the intricate details of the building’s exterior and experience the historical significance of this architectural gem.
