Casa Rosada - House of the President of the Argentine Nation
The Casa Rosada (English: Pink House) is the effective seat of government, located at the address of Balcarce 50, in the city of Buenos Aires. The residence of the president is in Olivos.
The Casa Rosada was built at the eastern end of the Plaza de Mayo, a large square which since the founding of the city of Buenos Aires has contained the top political institutions of Argentina. The current building, however, dates back only to 1873 and was constructed over the foundations of an earlier customs house, post office, and fortress.
