Palace of the Argentine National Congress, Legislative palace in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Congressional Palace features a prominent bronze-plated dome reaching 80 meters high and contains both chambers of the Argentine national legislature.
Construction of the palace started in 1898 under architect Vittorio Meano and continued for four decades, with Belgian sculptor Jules Dormal completing the work.
The palace displays neoclassical architecture with limestone facades, featuring allegorical statues created by Argentine sculptor Lola Mora at its entrance.
Visitors can join free guided tours through the Senate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays with photo identification at Hipólito Yrigoyen 1849.
The building required complex engineering to support its 30,000-ton dome structure, which rests on four pillars reinforced with granite blocks.
