The Legislative Palace in Lima, Peru, completed in 1939, is a Beaux-Arts government building designed by Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski that serves as the seat of Congress and the legislative branch of the Peruvian government. Situated on Ayacucho Street adjacent to Bolivar Square in the historic Barrios Altos neighborhood, the palace contains the congressional chambers, including the Raúl Porras Barrenechea Hall and the Hall of the Lost Steps, along with offices for congressional leadership, commissions, and parliamentary groups. The building hosts sessions of Congress and presidential inauguration speeches. Behind the structure lies José Faustino Sánchez Carrión Square, a public plaza maintained by Congress and named after the pro-independence politician. Designated as a cultural heritage site of Peru, the palace remains a defining landmark of the capital's civic center.
