The Palacio de Carondelet serves as the seat of government and official residence of the President of Ecuador. It’s a historic building, but many of the items inside are not original. Over the last few decades, the Palace has suffered from a consistent pattern of low-key looting, with the culprits yet unknown.
The Palacio de Carondelet, also known as the Palacio Presidencial (Presidential Palace), is a reflection of the various administrations that have governed Ecuador, in part or in total, over the centuries.
