Palacio de la Reconquista, Academic art building near Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Palacio de la Reconquista is an academic art building located at the corner of Bartolomé Mitre and Reconquista streets. The structure displays ornate exterior details and maintains well-proportioned interior spaces that reflect careful architectural planning.

Construction began in 1912 as a branch of Banco Anglo Sudamericano but was not completed until 1920, delayed by World War I. After its opening, the building served as headquarters for various banking institutions.

The Municipality of Buenos Aires recognized the architectural excellence of the Palacio de la Reconquista by awarding it the second prize for Best Facade in 1925.

The building stands at the corner of Bartolomé Mitre and Reconquista streets, a few metres from Plaza de Mayo, in the San Nicolás financial district. The ground floor is occupied by bank branches, so the interior is not open to visitors; the facade and the 1925 plaque on the Reconquista side can be seen from the pavement.

Between 27 March and 6 April 2014 the building hosted "Espacios Revelados, Changing Places", organised by Siemens Stiftung and the city government, with William Forsythe's installation "Scattered Crowd". The American choreographer's piece filled the banking hall, a use far removed from the building's financial past.
