Casa Rosada


This famous government building contains the offices of the President of Argentina. The pink colour symbolises national unity by blending the colours of the rival factions that fought each other in the 19th century - the Federalists red and the Unitarians white. This is the balcony on which Peron and Evita frequently appeared before the masses gathered in the plaza.
