Built in 1919 as the seat of the Japanese governor general of Taiwan, the Presidential Office Building has housed the offices of the Taiwan president since 1949. Its classical European-fusion style includes many Japanese cultural elements, such as a sunrise-facing front, and a shape in the form of the character 日, part of 日本 (Japan), as seen from the air. The building is renowned for its baroque architecture, red-brick facade, and central tower.
