A Presidential Palace is the official residence of the president in some countries. However, some countries do not call the official residence of a head of state a presidential palace or the president lives elsewhere and has only his office in the palace. Some of the presidential palaces were once the official residences to monarchs in countries that were monarchies that have now become republics.
Famous quotes containing the words presidential and/or palace:
“The Republican Vice Presidential Candidate ... asks you to place him a heartbeat from the Presidency.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“The homely Nurse doth all she can
To make her Foster-child, her Inmate Man,
Forget the glories he hath known,
And that imperial palace whence he came.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
