The Government House stands in one end of the historical Plaza de Mayo (May Square), opposite the Cabildo.

Nowadays, this French style building is the seat of Buenos Aires City government and therefore, houses the Town Hall.

It was built in the late nineteenth century, between 1891 and 1902, and its construction was in charge of the architect Juan Cagnoni. In addition, the plot where the Government House stands had been given to the General San Martín, long time ago, owing to the military victories he had achieved.

When inaugurated, the building dome showed a needle longer than the current one, but due to several inconveniences it had to be demolished. Regarding the architecture, the French academic style is combined with Italian elements, like many other buildings along Mayo Avenue, well known for its variety of cupolas and unique building styles.

This French style building of special architectural value, projected by engineers Gainza and Agote, was inaugurated in 1896. The Golden Hall, on the first floor, is one of the building’s most outstanding features.

Formerly, this building had been headquarters of daily La Prensa. Thus, despite being inaugurated in the nineteenth century, it was well supplied with telephones, transmitters and receivers of news cables. In the upper part of the building a unique bronze statute, 55 meters high, holding a torch and a written page, as a symbol of the press freedom can be found. Nowadays, the building is a part of Buenos Aires City Hall.

This fair, set up in 1986, appeared as a place where handicrafts and popular traditions of the country could be shown. Placed opposite the National Market of Cattle and between Lisandro de la Torre street and Corrales Avenue, this fair is divided into three areas: traditional handicrafts, artistic festivals, and last but not least gaucho abilities.

What is more, a wide range of activities are organised in each of this areas such as lectures, exhibitions, videos, traditional games for children and grown ups, popular dances as well as regional food tasting.

Built in may 1936 in order to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Buenos Aires’ first foundation, the Obelisk is located in the place where the national flag was waved for the first time.

Another interesting hotspot for tourists is the park in Palermo neighbourhood, bordering Libertador Avenue.

The park began to develop in 1874, encouraged by the president at the time Domingo F. Sarmiento. Architect and landscaper Carlos Thays was responsible for the design of it. Finally, it was inaugurated in November 1875.

The importance of the park, popularly known as Bosques de Palermo (Palermo’s Forests), relies on the fact that it is one of the largest green areas of the city. Adding to this, bushy vegetation borders two artificial lakes where a large number of sea birds can be seen. This breathtaking scenery can be enjoyed by boat or even by water bikes.

Located in a historical neighbourhood known as San Telmo, the fair has been running since 1970. Initially it was mainly an antique fair. However, nowadays a wide variety of items are offered along its 270 stands. Besides, on Sundays, street performances by tango and folklore dancers turn this fair into a unique place.

Many of the neighbourhood’s houses of the nineteenth century have been recycled in order to become antique stores and first class restaurants.

To sum up, Dorrego Square is a traditional sightseeing area visited by more than eight thousand national and foreign tourists every Sunday.
