The Cabildo
Address: Caseros 549
The white-facaded Cabildo, originally built in the early seventeenth century, took on its current appearance in the late eighteenth, when the city became capital of the intendencia. It underwent a facelift that left its slightly lopsided structure – the two rows of graceful arches don't quite tally – essentially intact in the middle of the twentieth century, over a hundred years after it ceased to be the colonial headquarters.
