Summary: The Palacio de Congreso the home to the Argentine National House of Congress. Modeled after the US capitol building in Washington, D.C., and competed in 1906, this building was designed by the same architect responsible for the design of the Teatro Colón.

LandingPadBA.com Recommendation: Don’t leave the capital of Argentina without seeing the Congress building. The tour is well worth it, too. But even if you just walk around the grounds, don’t miss it!
