Centro Comercial Palacio Nacional (The City Palace - 1928) - Medellin, Colombia

This shopping center’s name comes from the old Justice Palace Building of Medellín, which was heavily based on Romanticism elements and was built at the beginning of the 20th century. The unique location of the Palace, placed strategically in the heart of the downtown area of Medellín, opens its doors to visitors where everything from shoes, clothes, and even souvenirs can be purchased at one of its 400 shops. The National Palace is topped with a sky light.

 

This architectural wonder was built in 1925 by the Belgium architect Augustín Gooavaerts and is located along the Carabobo Urban Walkway.The National Palace was previously the site of important government entities in Antioquia.
