The Cabildo of Buenos Aires is a colonial-era building that served as the seat of the town council during Spanish rule. Its iconic bell tower and whitewashed walls make it a landmark on Plaza de Mayo. Today, it functions as a museum displaying artifacts from the May Revolution and colonial life, including period furniture, documents, and religious art. Visitors can climb the tower for a panoramic view of the plaza and learn about the city's founding and fight for independence.
