Casa Rosada's Historical Majesty
Standing on the eastern side of Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada is pivotal in Argentina's political landscape. It is known for the balcony where Eva Perón rallied supporters.
Founded in the 19th century, it symbolizes attempts at unity during President Sarmiento's term. Its pink color, derived from a mix of paint and possibly bovine blood, is a notable feature of its eclectic architectural style that combines colonial and modern influences.
