Frommer's Review
For 200 years, this was the home of the Spanish Viceroy, making it the seat of power for all of Central America. The original building, modified many times over the centuries, was constructed in the late 1500s and held the court of law, provincial offices, post office, treasury, royal office, servants' quarters, and horse stables within its more than 20,000 sq. m (215,000 sq. ft.). The current two-story structure, with its traditional facade of arches, is home to the INGUAT office and the police station. There's really nothing to see here, but the building remains an important historical site. A short, free bus tour of Antigua leaves from the Palacio every hour from 9am until 2pm Monday through Friday, and from 9am until noon on Saturday.
