Congressional Plaza, Public square in Monserrat, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The plaza spans three hectares and consists of three connected spaces: Congress Plaza, Mariano Moreno Plaza, and Plaza Lorea before the Congress building.
The square emerged after businessman Pedro Lorea donated land for a carriage stop in 1782, leading to its development alongside the Congress construction.
The central Monument to Two Congresses features a bronze Republic sculpture, commemorating the 1813 Constitutional Assembly and 1816 Congress of Tucuman.
The plaza serves as the starting point for all Argentine national highways, marked by a monolith at Kilometer Zero in Mariano Moreno section.
The Mariano Moreno Plaza section displays one of eight authentic bronze casts of The Thinker statue, created from Rodin's original mold.
