Palacio de Hacienda, Government building in Monserrat district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Palacio de Hacienda is a large government building with 13 floors above ground and 2 basement levels along Hipolito Yrigoyen Street. The structure has multiple sections connected together, with separate entrances on Hipolito Yrigoyen, Balcarce, and Avenida Paseo Colon.
Construction of this government complex started in 1937, replacing an earlier national revenue building from 1858. The first phase was completed in December 1939, giving the ministry its new modern home.
The main hall contains bronze statues and paintings that tell the story of Argentina's economic development through different periods. These artworks reflect how the nation's financial system has evolved and changed over time.
The building has multiple entrances allowing visitors to access it from different street sides. It is best to check ahead of your visit for current opening times and access rules since it remains an active government office.
During a 1955 bombing raid near Plaza de Mayo, several projectiles struck this building and left visible marks in its granite cladding. These impact marks remain visible today and serve as a reminder of a turbulent moment in Argentina's history.
