Casa Rosada, Executive mansion in Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Casa Rosada extends four floors high with a pink facade and features multiple halls containing presidential portraits and governmental offices.
The building stands on the site of a Spanish colonial fort from 1594, which was transformed into a customs house after Argentina gained independence.
The central museum displays presidential memorabilia, excavated fort remains, and artifacts representing the evolution of Argentine political leadership through centuries.
Free guided tours in English and Spanish require advance online reservations and presentation of a valid passport at the entrance.
President Domingo Sarmiento selected the pink color to represent a political union between the red-wearing Federalists and white-wearing Unitarians of Argentina.
