Monrentera Palace is a colossal administrative building in Madrigal, Carloso. It has served as the seat of the National Assembly of Carloso (and its predecessor the Imperial Assembly) since 1907. Built in the neoclassical style, the huge structure had a prolonged period of construction, beginning on 15 June 1868 and not reaching completion until 9 November 1937. Prior to its completion, the smaller TBA had served as the seat of the Imperial Assembly, however the significant increase of the number of representatives in the legislature, as well as the rapidly expanding bureaucracy of the newly formed Carlosian Empire necessitated the construction of a much larger complex. Since its completion, it has been regarded as a powerful symbol of Carloso's parliamentary democracy and of the power of the Carlosian state itself. Sitting in the Tribunal district of Madrigal, it is a major tourist attraction alongside nearby buildings such as the Assembly Libraries, the Madrigal Archives, Victoria Square, and Madrigal Cathedral. It is by far the largest legislative building in all of Musgorocia.
