Congreso de la Nación Argentina

Designed by the Italian architect Vittorio Meano and completed by Argentine architect Julio Dormal, the building was under construction between 1898 and 1906. Inaugurated that year, its aesthetic details were not completed until 1946. The quadriga atop the entrance is the work of sculptor Victor de Pol; local sculptor Lola Mora graced the interior halls and exterior alike with numerous allegorical bronzes.

Argentina's constitution was inspired by the US model; and likewise, the Palacio del Congreso resembles Washington's bicameral legislature, and was completed in 1906.

Beautiful fountain in the plaza in front of the Congress. Unfortunately the fountain was not operating while I visited.
