Antigua Casa Presidencial, Tegucigalpa (must see)

For many years, the former President's house was the most impressive building in the center of the capital. It was not only the center of political and military power in the country but also one of the most impressive architectural works of the nineteenth century, with its dome in French Renaissance Revival style and its circular towers and crenellated walls in Neo-Medieval style. Now it houses the Museo de la Republica, which presents the history of the country through collectibles and artifacts, from the colonial period till the present.
