Government House

This important institutional building was built in the first decade of the XX century, 1908-1910, to be the seat of the executive and thus replace the old Cabildo. It highlights their lavish and delicate French-style architecture with a mix of art nouveau, baroque and some reminiscences of Italian classicists. Inside stands the White Hall Government House and the tomb of Juan Bautista Alberdi, who wrote the famous Constitution, which was repatriated from France in 1889 to be located in a Pantheon La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. In 1991 they were transferred permanently to Tucuman and can be seen in the middle of the ground floor.
