presidential palaces
Leaders' official homes
Presidential palaces are the official residences and workplaces of heads of state—grand buildings that serve both as homes and as symbols of national power.
The White House, the Élysée Palace, and the Kremlin are examples.
The term emphasizes ceremonial grandeur: Protesters gathered outside the presidential palace demanding the dictator's resignation.
