Palacio de la Legislatura de Salta, Government palace in central Salta, Argentina
The Salta Legislative Palace features three grand arches on its facade with friezes representing Science, Justice, and Labor above the main balconies.
The construction of this legislative building started in 1892 and continued until 1902, with architect Francesco Righetti designing the initial plans.
The building earned its nickname 'House of Lions' from the twenty-two lion sculptures decorating various parts of its structure, including French-made gargoyles.
The Legislative Palace houses both the provincial chambers of deputies and senators, along with a library containing over twenty thousand books.
The palace displays orange-pastel walls with white moldings, twenty-eight windows on the ground floor and thirty-three on the first floor.
