Edificio Libertador

Towering above the Casa Rosada, just south of Parque Colón on Av Colón, is the army headquarters at the Edificio Libertador, the real locus of Argentine political power for many decades. It was built by military engineers inspired by the beaux-arts Correo Central (now the Centro Cultural Kirchner). A twin building planned for the navy never got off the ground.
