It was established in 1580 and was once known as Plaza de la Victoria and it would be renamed after the Argentine revolution. Casa Rosada is pictured and many foreigners visiting call it the Pink Palace. This is the official government building where the president works. Plaze de Mayo is the key focal point in the community for public gatherings. More historical buildings that surround Plaze de Mayo are Banco la Nacion which is the central bank, the cathedral, and the Cabildo. One of the most important statues in Argentina is located in the center of the square. It is General Belgrano on his horse holding the country’s flag. He was an important figure for Argentina because he was one of the leaders for the Argentine Declaration of Independence. One of the most important events that happen in the square are the Madres de la Plaza, which means Mothers of May square. Mothers of children who “disappeared” by the military dictatorship from 1976-1983, are seen every Thursday afternoon in the plaza demanding answers on where their children are located. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
