Palacio del Congreso
The Congress building from Buenos Aires, located at the west end of Avenida de Mayo.The architecture is imposing, and its enormous granite steps symbolize the high Andes and the fountain at is base represent the Atlantic Ocean. I’ve seen the fountain, and what a shame to see it blanketed with graffiti. Completely covered by red paint. It’s been said that this dated back from the 1983 military dictatorship, but I think that the 2001 economic crisis has a lot to do as well
The green-domed Palacio del Congreso costed twice more than its original budget, it is modeled on Washington’s Capitol and topped by an 85m dome, the palace was completed in 1906.
