Buildings like that one (way over the top) have traditionally been built by slaves and/or built with profits from colonisation, invasion etc

You get similar styles in communist countries when the building exists to serve the public. The USSR would often include a requirement for a portion of the budget go to local artists, so you ended up with no less ornamentation.
