Palacio Fuentes, Beaux-Arts palace in central Rosario, Argentina.
The Palacio Fuentes rises at the intersection of Santa Fe and Sarmiento streets with facades adorned by reliefs, sculptures, and large copper lanterns.
Spanish immigrant Juan Fuentes Echeverría commissioned architect Juan Bautista Durand to construct this building between 1923 and 1927, marking his success in Argentina.
The central tower features a four-sided clock and culminates in a weathervane shaped like a plow, representing the agricultural origins of Fuentes's fortune.
The ground floor and mezzanine house shops and offices, while the upper floors contain apartments accessible through an ornate brass entrance gate.
The basement contains the International Museum for Democracy, offering exhibitions about democratic concepts through Argentine and global historical events.
