The Governor's Palace (Palacio del Gobernador) in Merida is a 19th century rebuilding of an earlier colonial structure whose architecture it accurately replicates. When the Governor is not in residence it is possible to walk in and explore the courtyard, it's balconies and some of the civic rooms upstairs.
The most memorable feature here however is the extensive sequence of murals by Fernando Castro Pacheco executed in the 1970s in a semi-abstract style, forming a kind of contemporary answer to the Rivera murals in Mexico City. The murals tell the history of Yucatan and Mexico, beginning with the Mayan Creation myth on the main staircase, followed by images of Mayan resistance to the Conquistadors and more recent revolutionary leaders.

Cadastral Community: Inner City. The palace is next to the Leopoldine Wing of the Hofburg the only surviving example of early Baroque palace architecture in Vienna. It was built in 1661-1667 under the influence of northern Italian Mannerism. 1820 was carried out by Alois Ludwig Pichl a reconstruction in late classical style of the interior rooms. It is a free-standing cubic building block with additive windows lining up (on the upper floor the windows have interrupted segment gable overroofings) and pilaster strip structuring, the roof is rhythmicized by dormers. The banded half-column portal with interrupted segment gable was not until 1895 transposed to the center. In column vestibule and in the hallway there are statues of Josef Klieber.

Objekt ID: 50447 Minoritenplatz 5
Katastralgemeinde: Innere Stadt. Das Palais ist neben dem Leopoldinischen Trakt der Hofburg das einzige erhaltene Beispiel frühbarocker Palastarchitektur in Wien. Es wurde 1661-1667 unter Einfluss des oberitalienischen Manierismus erbaut. 1820 erfolgte ein spätklassizistischer Umbau der Innenräume durch Alois Ludwig Pichl. Es ist ein freistehender kubischer Baublock mit additiver Fensterreihung (im Obergeschoß haben die Fenster gesprengte Segment-giebel-verdachungen) und Lisenengliederung, das Dach ist durch Gaupen rhythmisiert. Das gebänderte Halbsäulenportal mit gesprengtem Segmentgiebel wurde erst 1895 in die Mitte versetzt. Im Säulenvestibül und im Stiegenhaus befinden sich Statuen von Josef Klieber.

This is where the Glasgow City Chamber meets. To give you an idea of how lush the decor is, the wall-covering that surrounds the upper part of the room is embossed, gilt leather.
The tour that I attended sadly did not include a peek at the Lord Provost's office, which I expect is equally ostentatious. (The Lord Provost is the equivalent of both the mayor and city council chair.)
