La Casa Rosada (The Pink House) is one of Buenos Aires's most photographed buildings, and for good reason. The striking Italian-style palace captivates observers at any angle with its majestic columns, intricate detailing, and, of course, its pastel pink color. Known among Porteños as the Palacio Presidencial (The Presidential Palace) or the Casa de Gobierno (Government House), it's the seat of the executive branch, where President Cristina Elizabet Fernández de Kirchner shows up for work every day. But perhaps more famously, it boasts the balcony where Eva Peron made her final farewell speech, saying, "don't cry for me, Argentina." Befitting a democratic institution, the palace's pink color is the result of a political compromise in the 1860's, when President Domingo Sarmiento blended the red and white colors of opposing political parties in order to diffuse tensions between them. It seems to have worked. Not all of the palace is accessible to the public, but guided tours of a few main sections are available, and there's also a museum filled with art, exhibits, and memorabilia. Then there's also the chance you might just stumble upon some spontaneous tango performances outside.
