Palacio 6 de Julio, Modern architecture municipal building in Capital Department, Argentina.

Palacio 6 de Julio is a brutalist municipal building at Marcelo T. de Alvear 120 and Caseros, facing Paseo Sobremonte. Designed by SEPRA (Sánchez Elía, Peralta Ramos and Agostini) and built by Ravazzola y Campisi, it opened on 6 July 1961. Its exposed concrete volumes and geometric forms express austerity and low operating costs.

The municipality occupied rented and borrowed buildings for decades: an 1882 project by José Cometa was sold to the province, and Norbert Maillart's 1889 plans were shelved after the 1890 revolution. Construction of the current palace began in 1953 under Mayor Manuel M. Federico, to designs by SEPRA (Sánchez Elía, Peralta Ramos, Agostini), built by Ravazzola y Campisi. Delayed by the 1955 coup, it opened on 6 July 1961, the city's 388th anniversary, and was named "6 de Julio" by ordinance 6260 in 1974.

The name marks 6 July 1961, the 388th anniversary of Córdoba's founding, when the building opened; the name "6 de Julio" was made official by ordinance No. 6260 on 11 July 1974, under mayor José D. Coronel. The concrete was chosen as a symbol of austerity and low operating costs, not ornament.

The building sits on Avenida Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear and functions as the main seat of city administration. Its central location makes it easily accessible by foot or public transportation.

The building was inaugurated on 6 July 1961, the 388th anniversary of Córdoba's founding, and took its name from that date only in 1974, by ordinance No. 6260 under mayor José D. Coronel. It was declared a National Historic Monument on 28 November 2019.
