Buenos Aires: building politics.

In this post I would like to talk about the two most important buildings in argentinian politics.


















One of them is, "La Casa Rosada" (the pink house). Its story begins in 1873 with the construction of the Postal Service building. Years later under the Roca presidency the government building was built beside it. In 1886 the two buiding were joined.

The first session of "El Congreso" was the 12th of may in 1864 under de presidency of Mitre. Behind its walls function the two federal houses: "la Cámara de Senadores" y la "Cámara de Diputados". This is a picture of the Congress in 1910.
