Palacio Díaz Vélez, Beaux-Arts palace in Barracas, Argentina
The Palacio Díaz Vélez exhibits three levels with slate mansard roofs, grand staircases, marble flooring, and decorative elements from French architecture.
Built in 1880 for the wealthy Díaz Vélez family, the palace transformed from a single-story residence into a three-level structure during early 1900s renovations.
The building reflects the French architectural influence in Buenos Aires during a period when the city aimed to replicate Parisian urban design.
Located at 110 Montes de Oca Avenue, the palace now functions as part of the Vitra Foundation, providing education and care for people with disabilities.
The palace grounds include gardens designed by landscape architect Carlos Thays, featuring ornamental fountains and classical sculptures throughout the property.
