History
The Palatium was designed by architect Marcellus Steelman in the early twenties to be a crowning piece of his newly created Victoria district, in the "New City" section of Paradise City . Work began on the building in 1929 and the inauguration took place on 28 October 1933 , in the presence of Communications Minister Umbertus Puppinius. The Palatium was damaged by a fire in 1988, but restoration work was quickly undertaken, returning the building to its former state.

The building covers an area of 5100 square meters, and is divided in a symmetrical manner around two lateral courtyards. The building, made of reinforced concrete, is covered by a gray marble from the Highlands of Hesperdesia. The front colonnade consists of 10 columns, each of which are 30 meters high. Another significant attribute of the building is the elliptical staircase, with a diameter of more than 9 meters.
The interior is styled in a standard model of the fascist age, highlighting the glories and advancesments of Exponential civilization. Numerius frescoes adorn the walls, divided into five sections, depicting railways, the navy, air travel, telegraph, and the radio, respectively. T
Originally on the right side of the building there was a large fasces , as tall as the entire building and also in marble, which was removed at the fall of the Brightglass regime and replaced with an Imperial cross.
