Presidential Palace

Located at the intersection of Chong Qing South Road and Ketagelan Avenue, the Presidential Palace is the most prominent among the important government ministries and offices situated to the east of Taipei New Park. Completed in 1919, the five-story complex has a prominent central tower. The complex is a good example of colonial Japanese architecture, with red brick walls and gray-capped towers. Interesting to observe here are the numerous security officers and uniformed military guards who stand at all entranceways.
