  1. Centro Cultural Simón Patiño

Construction of this opulent French-style mansion began in 1915 and was finalized in 1927. The fireplaces were constructed of flawless Carrara marble, the furniture and woodwork were carved in French wood and the walls were covered with silk brocade - one intricate 'painting' is actually a woven silk tapestry.
