The Presidential Palace is the residence of the President of Guinea-Bissau, situated in the capital city of Bissau. At its height it was one of the most substantial buildings in the city, but it was ruined during the 1998-99 Civil War and subject to bombing. As of 2012 the old palace still stood, but had become derelict, and infested with bats.
