Former official residence of the President of Haiti
The National Palace was the official residence of the president of Haiti, located in the capital Port-au-Prince, facing Place L'Ouverture near the Champs de Mars. It was severely damaged during the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The ruins of the building were demolished in 2012 under the Martelly administration, and plans to rebuild the palace were announced by then-president Jovenel Moïse in 2017, but construction has never begun. The palace's grounds and ancillary buildings have nonetheless remained a center of governmental administration.
