Construido en la época de los Lopez, específicamente por Don Calos Antonio Lopez para que sea la residencia de su hijo Francisco Solano Lopez, que después se convertiría en presidente y Mariscal paraguayo, construido con materiales y arquitectos extrangeros, las obras comenzaron en 1857 y se termino de construir en la época de la guerra de la triple alianza, aproximadamente en 1864, adornada con muebles parisianos, así también con espejos, bronces, y una escalera de marmor que contruyo el ingeniero italiano Andrés Antonini, venido exclusivamente de italia para el efecto, los interiores también fueron decorados por artistas italianos e ingleses, era una obra de arte imponente, que nunca fue utilizada por el heredero de los Lopez, ya que antes de su terminacion estallo la guerra grande, como se le llamo la guerra de la triple alianza, en 1869 fue tomada por las tropas brasileras/argentinas y saqueada, todos sus ornamentos, bronces, estatuas, muebles y grandes espejos que adornaban los salones del palacio fueron llevados a brasil, y durante el tiempo que duro la ocupación fue utilizado como cuartel general, también durante ese tiempo, de casi 7 años, flameaba en sus torres la bandera brasileña, finalmente fue abandonado cuando las tropas enemigas se replegaron, fue reconstruido en 1892, y el palacio de los Lopez, volvió a su antiguo esplendor, pero el presidente Juan Alberto Gonzalez nunca pudo, igual que los Lopez, morar en tan majestuoso palacio, ya que fue derrocado en un golpe militar en 1894, tampoco el sucesor de este, el presidente Marcos Morínigo pudo habitar el palacio, ya que duro poco tiempo en el puesto, recién Juan Bautista Eusquiza y sus sucesores lo utilizaron como palacio presidencial hasta estos días.
Espero que la lección gratuita de historia no los haya aburrido =), esta toma fue hecha de noche y se puede apreciar toda la majestuidad del palacio, que esta ubicada frente a la bahía asuncena

Right in the center of the Paraguayan...
Bem no centro da capital paraguaia,...
Bem no centro da capital paraguaia, Asunción, se encontra o palácio de Lopez, hoje em dia a casa da Presidência.Não sendo fácil a sua visitação interna,pois é um processo muito burocrático e demorado,o exterior do palácio já fala por si.Imperativo,colonial e simplesmente magnifico,é um ícon de Assunção.Não consegui saber ao certo os procedimentos exigidos para ver o interior,pois o meu tempo de estadia era limitado,mas aconselho vivamente a quem ficar mais tempo na capital,que se informe numa agência de turismo o que fazer para visitar.
Nas traseiras do palácio,existe um espaço amplo usado para o heliporto e logo no fundo,está o rio Paraguay,sempre com uma escolta da marinha presente para protecção presidencial.Todo o lugar é vigiado por atentos seguranças e algumas cameras de vigilância.
Destaco o fim do dia,quando o sol se põe...a pouca luz natural reflectida no mármore branco do palácio,é uma imagem imperdivel.
Right in the center of the Paraguayan capital, Asuncin, is the palace of Lopez, today the home of Presidncia.No being easy its internal visitation as a very bureaucratic and time-consuming process, the exterior of the palace j speaks for si.Imperativo Colonial and simply magnificent, one con Assuno.No could know for certain procedures required to see the inside, for my long stay was limited, but I would strongly recommend to those who stay longer in the capital, which tell an agency of tourism attractions to visit. Behind the palace, there is a large space used for the heliport and logo on the bottom, are the Paraguay river, always with a Navy escort gift for protection presidencial.Todo the place guarded by security guards attentive and some cameras of surveillance. Highlight the end of the day, when the sun pe ... a little natural light reflected on the white marble of the palace, one unmissable image.

The palacio Lopez
Le palacio Lopez
Excellent
Gardé de façon presque inexistante - deux hommes à l'entrée nous indiquent de ne pas dépasser une certaine limite invisible pour prendre nos photos et encore moins de visiter l'intérieur du lieu, mais aucun garde armé ne semble l'entourer - le palace Lopez, nommé après le nom du Président ayant aidé à l'indépendance de la ville, s'élève entre architecture coloniale et parc tout en fleur. Sur le côté gauche, un chemin plus sûr pour accéder à la baie.
Kept in an almost non-existent - two men at the entrance tell us not to exceed a certain limit invisible to take our photos and even less to visit the interior of the place, but no armed guard seems to surround - the palace Lopez , named after the name of the President who helped the independence of the city stands between colonial architecture and park all in bloom. On the left side, a more secure way to access the array.

Una lástima que no haya, como en otros lugares, excursiones al interior del Palacio que sólo puede conocerse por fuera. Y ni siquiera es el lugar administrativo del país.
