In January 2024 tours inside the building were not taking place. But it's worth a visit to this iconic site, especially after watching the movie Evita! There are other things in the area to visit while you are here such as museums, churches, and Florida St.

CABA is beautiful!!! This time we didn't go into Casa Rosada, but it's in our plans. It's worth many trips, as there are countless tourist attractions... We stayed for 10 days and still had things to do next time. And as a Celiac, I fell in love even more, I would definitely live there.

The Casa Rosada is the presidential/government official building, right on the Plaza de Mayo amidst other historic buildings. It is a unique shade of pink, and has the famous balconies where Eva Peron gave her speech (or sang, in the film version) so it's pretty well known. We didn't go inside (I'm not sure whether tours were available when we visited) but it was nice to see the exterior, and see the historic and iconic building that we'd heard so much about.

Splendid building, truly emblematic. It is an integral part of the history of Argentina and a striking element in the landscape of Buenos Aires. This historic tourist spot is a must-see when visiting the city. Nearby are other important landmarks, such as the obelisk and the Teatro Colón... all accessible in a pleasant walk.

The Casa Rosada building occupies the site where a Spanish riverbank fort once stood; today, after repeated landfills, the palace stands more than 1km inland. This initial four-floor building started to be a Post Office and then a Government House. It was completed in 1898, partially demolished, and modified in 1938. The Casa Rosada, literally the(Pink House) was named for its distinctive pink walls, caused by mixing white paint with bovine blood, a common practice in the late 19th century; today it is the president of the Argentine Republic's official workplace, located in Buenos Aires. The palatial mansion is known officially as Casa de Gobierno. From its balcony here in the past, Eva Perón famously addressed her supporters who packed into Plaza de Mayo. They no longer offer free tours of the building, but you can watch the lowering of the national flag ceremony. While one of the guardsmen plays the bugle, the other guards salute with their sabres. There is not much shade, so go early before the heat of the day and the gathering of the tourists and protesters. TIP: The interesting Museo Casa Rosada is located just behind the palace.

The Casa Rosada Palace is beautiful ! We wanted to tour the palace & the website said they were open on a Saturday. However when we arrived, we found out they closed during Covid and never reopened. They need to update the website. It was nice to be at a historical event place. Beautiful plaza behind the plaza also.

Reading about the history of construction that took place at the site where now the Casa Rosada is, I understand that after the original fort was demolished, there has been a mix of different buildings here serving different purposes. Half of the complex was once filled by a Customs building and later a Post Office. At some point, in 1898, efforts were made to merge the different structures together. End 1930s the building was partly demolished. Early 1940s the Casa Rosada got its definite shape. Italian romanticism is the predominant architectural style, but other elements such as the rigid neo-classicist post office features are still wel visible.

December 2024 was the first time I’d returned to Casa Rosada/Pink Palace in more than 14 years. For several months back in 2010 I was fortunate to have lived in BA. During this time I would visit Casa Rosada quite frequently. In fact, I happened to be here when former Argentine President Nestor Kirchner passed away and his wife at the time, former President Cristina Fernandez was receiving the public. The building is quite stately and occupies a prime, central location in the heart of downtown BA. I always thought the front of the palace could use some sort of formal garden. While the interior isn’t open to the public, there’s plenty to admire on the outside. Be sure to look for the balcony where Eva Peron made her famous speech. There is plenty of security/police presence around the palace as well as in the plaza in front.
