Buenos Aires City Legislature Palace, Neoclassical government building in Monserrat, Argentina.
The Buenos Aires City Legislature Palace is a five-story Beaux-Arts building with a central tower and neoclassical details throughout. Inside, grand marble staircases lead to the legislative chambers, public library, and archives filled with historical documents.
The building was completed in 1931 and initially housed the legislative body. Between 1947 and 1955, the Labor Ministry and the Eva Peron Foundation also used parts of it for their operations.
The building displays French architectural influences through its Beaux-Arts design with elaborate stonework and decorative details visible throughout. Visitors today can experience this style in every room, from the marble staircases to the ornately crafted ceilings.
Visitors can take free guided tours to explore the legislative halls, parliamentary chamber, and public library inside. The building is located in central Buenos Aires and is easily accessible by public transportation.
The tower houses a Westminster clock system that controls 80 other clocks throughout the building. Above that sits a carillon of 30 bells that still rings on special occasions.
