Argentine National Congress
From Freepedia
The National Congress (Spanish: Congreso de la Nación Argentina) is the legislative branch of the government of Argentina.
Argentina's parliament is bicameral. It is made up of a 72-seat Senate and a 257-seat Chamber of Deputies.
The construction of the building started in 1898 during Bartolomé Mitre's mandate, and in 1906 it was precariously opened, to be later finished by Julio Dormal years later. As time went by, the building proved too small for its purpose, and in 1974 the construction of the Edificio Anéxo, which now holds the deputies' offices, was started.
