 The exterior of the Palace has a baroque stone doorway. The main facade is made from stone in the first wing and plaster in the second. The style is Sevillian baroque with a strong Arab influence. The materials used in its construction were brought from Spain, Panama and Central America. It has carved columns and two finely worked balconies in dark wood, imitating neo-colonial buildings. These balconies or miradors adapt the architecture to local tradition. It has Sevillian tiles, plasterwork, wooden columns, lobed Moorish arches and soaring coffered ceilings. It is considered to have a true "Limeño" architectural originality, harmoniously combining Andalusian, Moorish, Criollo and Asian features.It is currently home to the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
