This enormous building is built entirely of stone. Inaugurated in 1896, this building is located on the site of the former Jesuit college. Throughout the year, local residents and tourists come to the public square and gardens next to it to view the building, city overlook or just relax in the impressive park that surrounds it. This park contains many monuments of interest and there is also a Christmas market during Nov/Dec. Clarly the city is proud of this building and its setting, and they should be as it is very impressive and monumental.
