Lonely Planet review for Casa Amarilla

The 17th-century balconied mansion called the Yellow House, on the western side of Plaza Bolívar, was originally an infamous royal prison. Wholly revamped and painted lemon yellow (hence its name) after independence, the building was converted into a presidential residence. Today it's the seat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and can't be visited, but have a good look through the archway and note the well-preserved colonial appearance of its exterior.
