César Palace (Auratian: Palacio de César) is the seat of both houses of the Auratian Senate, the federal legislature of Auratia. Facing north, it is located at the end of the Dobrique Strip and is the geographic center of Cienflores, the nation's capital city.
César Palace is named after Bartolomé César, a jurist who worked alongside Dr. Pablo Obrador to overthrow the Auratian Monarchy during the Alzamiento. César would later become the first Chairman of the Council of States, shaping many of the Senate's rules and customs. The palace, which was designed by Auratian-Iustian architect Federico Dias, reflects the neoclassical style of the House of the Ascension, the former seat of Parliament.
The building's east wing houses the Assembly of the People, the lower house. The west wing houses the Council of States, the upper house. The offices of whips and other party leaders, including the prime minister, are located on the third floor. The newest addition to the building is the gym and basketball court on the fourth floor.
