Libertador Building, Military headquarters in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Libertador Building rises 17 floors above Avenida Colón, featuring French Renaissance architecture with a 230-meter-long symmetrical facade and two distinct wings.
Construction of the massive structure began in 1938 and concluded in 1943, replacing the previous military headquarters located in the former National Mint building.
President Juan Perón named the building Edificio Libertador in 1950 to honor General José de San Martín, who led independence movements across South America.
The 82,625-square-meter building contains multiple government offices, security systems, libraries, archives, and an underground tunnel connecting to the Casa Rosada.
During the Revolución Libertadora coup of 1955, President Perón used the building's network of tunnels to escape from advancing military forces.
