Cabildo de Buenos Aires

The Cabildo de Buenos Aires was the local government building and administrative center during the colonial period in what is now Argentina. Established in the 16th century, it served as a site for political meetings and decision-making, reflecting the governance of Spanish colonial rule. The cabildo was important for managing local affairs, including trade and land use. It played a key role during the early independence movements in the early 19th century. Today, the Cabildo building is a historical monument, symbolizing the city's colonial past and the struggle for independence.
