Taranco Palace, located in front of the Plaza Zabala, in the heart of the Old City of Montevideo, Uruguay, is a palace erected in the early 20th century during a period in which the architectural style was influenced by French architecture. It was designed by French architects Charles Louis Girault and Jules Chifflot León who also designed the Petit Palais and the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This colonial building contains Uruguayan furniture and drapings and currently contains the Museum of Decorative Arts in Montevideo. The palace is often used as a meeting place by the Uruguayan government. The palace was formerly the residence of the Taranco Ortiz family, who commissioned the construction of the building in 1907 and it was completed in 1910. It was erected on the site of Montevideo's first theatre in the historical theatrical centre of the city which had been built in 1793. In 1943 the Uruguayan state purchased the residence and part of the furniture, and gained access to its works of art but it wasn't until 1975 that it was fully transferred to the Uruguayan state and it became a National Historic Landmark in 1979.

Nice building. The iron grating in front of the door deserves a close up shoot.

very nice shot. A bit more contrast and this is a 10+. I can see the Art nuveau influence.
