The Buenos Aires Legislature Palace (Spanish: Palacio de la Legislatura de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) houses the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is an architectural landmark in the city's Montserrat district, situated in a triangular block bounded by the streets Hipólito Yrigoyen Street, Presidente Julio A. Roca Avenue and Perú Street.[1][2] Built of grey granite, it has a Neoclassical design.[3] The building is open to the public on week-days only.[1] The building contains the Esteban Echeverría Library, Salón Rosado (also known as the "Eva Perón Hall"), and a carillon which, when it was installed in 1930, was the largest in South America.
