Antiguo Congreso Nacional, Buenos Aires, Legislative building in Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Antiguo Congreso Nacional features limestone construction with a central hall and classical architectural elements reflecting Italian academic principles from the late 1800s.
President Bartolomé Mitre inaugurated this first seat of the Argentine National Congress in 1864, which served as the legislative center until 1905.
The preserved session hall contains original furnishings, including stenographers' tables, decorative lamps, and a portrait of Doctor Valentín Alsina from the 19th century.
The building stands at the intersection of Balcarce and Hipólito Yrigoyen streets, near Casa Rosada, and welcomes visitors through guided tours.
In 1942, while most of the structure was demolished for the National Mortgage Bank, the main session room remained intact inside the new building.
