Unitarist
lawyers and clerics declared Argentina's independence from Spain on July 9, 1816, in
this late-colonial mansion (although the Federalists boycotted the proceedings). Portraits
of the signatories line the walls of the original room. There's plenty of information in
Spanish on the lead-up to these seismic events, and English guided tours (free) are avail-
able.
There's a sound-and-light show nightly except Thursday; entry is AR$10/5 per adult/
child. Get tickets at the tourist office.
Alongside the building are areas with handicrafts stalls and stands selling traditional
foods.
