Mexico’s presidential residence, Los Pinos, was the official residence of the President of Mexico until 2018, when it was opened to the public as a cultural center. While it no longer serves as the President’s home, it remains a significant site.
The estate spans approximately 56 acres. It includes multiple buildings, vast gardens, and recreational areas, offering a blend of historical and modern architectural elements. The complex has several structures, including the presidential residence, guest houses, and working offices for the president.
In comparison, the White House in Washington D.C. occupies 18 acres and is the U.S. president’s residence, covering a large area in the heart of the U.S. capital.
Since 2018, the Mexican President now resides in a different location, the National Palace (Palacio Nacional) in the Zócalo, the main square in Mexico City, while Los Pinos serves a more public and cultural role. The National Palace occupies about 10 acres.
While both are impressive buildings, the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, India, comes in at 330 acres and is one of the largest presidential palaces in the world, serving as the official residence of the President of India. The palace includes vast gardens, formal courtyards, and a grand building that blends Mughal and colonial architectural styles.
