Towering columns, elegant sculptures, deep cloisters and exquisite arches can be seen everywhere in the presidential palace, which fully demonstrates the baroque architectural characteristics of the European Renaissance. At the end of World War II, it was bombed and seriously damaged. After recovering Taiwan Province in 34 years, it was rebuilt the following year.
