Palacio de Gobierno de Jujuy

The Palacio de Gobierno de Jujuy is a government building designed in Beaux-Arts style, featuring three stories with symmetrical facades and decorative stone work across its exterior. The structure displays the balanced proportions and refined ornamentation typical of this architectural approach.

Construction of the provincial government building started in 1907 under architect Fernando Lavenas and finished in 1921, marking the start of a new chapter for local administration. The completion coincided with a period of institutional modernization in the region.

The first floor features the Flag Room decorated in Renaissance style, where visitors can see the flag donated by General Manuel Belgrano to the province. This space reflects how the building serves as a keeper of provincial identity and memory.

The building sits on Plaza Belgrano at San Martin 450 and operates during standard government business hours. Guided tours can be arranged in advance for visitors interested in seeing the interior spaces.

A major fire in 1950 threatened the historical flag, which was temporarily moved to the bishop's residence while repairs took place. The flag returned to its place in 1952 once restoration work was finished.
