Presidential palace

A presidential residence is an official residence provided for the president of a country. It often serves as a place for the president to live, work, and host official events. The term can also refer to a complex of buildings, such as offices, meeting rooms, and guest accommodations, that support the president's duties. In some cases, the presidential residence may be a historic or culturally significant building, reflecting the nation's heritage. The residence is typically maintained by government funds and staff. In Hebrew, a presidential residence is called בית הנשיא (Beit HaNasi). Other translations include Residencia presidencial in Spanish, Résidence présidentielle in French, and Präsidialamt in German. The location and size of the presidential residence can vary greatly depending on the country and its political system. For example, the White House in the United States serves as both the residence and the workplace of the president, while other countries may have separate buildings for these purposes.
