Highlights
- A striking exterior with polychrome murals and sculpted details, plus an airy inner courtyard you can walk through.
- Interior spaces contain large murals, statues and decorative ceilings, but many rooms are only accessible on guided tours.
- The building still serves a governmental role, so some areas remain off limits.
