The Presidential Palace in Alta'ti, Elborra, is the official residence of the President of Elborra. Built as an Iobarayan fortress in 1328, the castle served as a governor's residence and military post. When Elborra became a Zamastanian dependency, it transitioned to a preserved state until Elborra's independence. The architectural ensemble has a sober character in its exterior and splendid in its interior, with the magnificent gardens and courtyards that maintain cultural inspiration. The palace is most known for its orchards, which have existed in this area since at least the 10th century, and consist of an impressive area of approximately 55,000 m2 of magnificent gardens with forest species including palm, cypress, orange and lemon trees, which surround a number of elegant fountains and ponds.
