Palacio de los López (Spanish for Palace of the López), officially titled Palacio de Gobierno (Palace of Government) is a neoclassical manor in Asunción, Paraguay, that serves as a workplace for the President of Paraguay, and as the seat of the government of Paraguay. The president does not reside in the palace, and is instead housed at Mburuvicha Róga (Guarani for House of the Chief), some 2.5 km to the southeast. Located in the center of Asunción, overlooking Asunción Bay, Palacio de los López was built by order of Carlos Antonio López, the first Paraguyan head of state to hold the title of President, per the constitution of 1844. The dictator envisioned a López dynasty, and he intended for the palace to house his son and designated successor, General Francisco Solano López, which gives rise to the palace's name. Ultimately, Solano López never resided there. Construction of the palace began in 1857 under the direction of the English architect Alonso Taylor, and was substantially completed by 1867. The War of the Triple Alliance compelled Solano López to seek refuge with the government in Ñeembucú.
