San José palace, National historical monument in Entre Ríos, Argentina
The San José Palace spans across 38 rooms arranged around two courtyards, with two observation towers rising from its Italian Renaissance facade.
Between 1848 and 1858, President Justo José de Urquiza commissioned architect Pedro Fossati to construct this residence, which later became the site of his assassination.
The palace interior displays a collection of French mirrors, Italian marble floors, and ceilings covered in gold leaf, reflecting 19th-century Argentine elite tastes.
Located 23 kilometers from Concepción del Uruguay, the palace functions as a museum displaying original furniture and personal objects of the Urquiza family.
The palace introduced the first complete water system in Argentina, with pipes extending 2 kilometers to transport water from the Gualeguaychu River.
