Palacio Piria, Ensenada, Italian-style palace in Punta Lara, Argentina.
The three-story Renaissance palace spans 1500 square meters along the Almirante Brown Coastal Road between streets 26 and 40 in Punta Lara.
Luis Castells initiated the palace construction in 1890, and his son completed it between 1907 and 1910 to commemorate the May Revolution centennial.
The palace hosted grand social gatherings for Argentine high society, with notable visitors including President Julio Argentino Roca in the early 1900s.
The building stands abandoned since the 1970s and requires extensive structural repairs, with local activists organizing guided tours to raise awareness.
The palace grounds originally covered 4,887 hectares, making it one of the largest private estates in the Ensenada region during the early 20th century.
