Casa de Gobierno de Corrientes, Government building at Plaza 25 de Mayo, Corrientes, Argentina
Casa de Gobierno de Corrientes is a government building in Italian Renaissance style located at Plaza 25 de Mayo. It features a central courtyard, galleries, and smooth columns that rise across multiple floors.
Engineer Juan Col designed this building between 1881 and 1886, marking the beginning of monumental construction projects in late 19th century Corrientes. Its completion reflected the province's growing prosperity and political stability during that era.
The building displays Corinthian capitals and an elevated loggia with the Coat of Arms of Corrientes flanked by lions at its entrance. These decorative details reflect the province's identity and civic pride.
This building stands at the intersection of 25 de Mayo and Salta streets, serving as the provincial executive headquarters. Visitors can find it easily due to its prominent location on the city's main plaza.
This building stands on the site of the former Iglesia Matriz, a church from the second half of the 17th century. Beneath the current provincial seat lie remains of a much older religious site that once defined the city's spiritual center.
