Dirección General de Aduanas, Government customs building in San Nicolás, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Dirección General de Aduanas operates from a French Academicist style building with black slate towers and a Rococo entrance in central Buenos Aires.
Founded in 1877, the customs authority began its operations during the colonial period when Carlos V and Pedro de Mendoza established the first customs rights.
The building received National Historical Monument status in 2009, representing the evolution of Argentine customs administration through architectural excellence.
The institution manages four subdivisions handling legal matters, customs control, metropolitan operations, and interior operations for international trade regulation.
The building features two distinctive black slate towers that stand as markers of Argentine customs administration since its 1910 construction.
