Es la Casa Rosada, tambíen conocido como "Casa de Gobierno" y "Palacio Presidencial," y se localiza a la Plaza de Mayo en Buenos Aires. Es famosa porque es la sede oficial del poder ejecutivo del gobierno argentino. Es rosada porque cuando Domingo Faustino Sarmiento era presidente quería pintarlo una mezcla de rojo y blanco, los colores de los partidos políticos adversarios, para distender el tensión entre los dos.
a) Casa Rosada (also known as the casa de gobierno or palacio presidencial)
b) it's on the Eastern end of the Plaza de Mayo
c) It houses the official seat of the Executive branch. Its balcony has also been used as a podium for many famous figures such as Eva Peron,Pope John Paul II, and Madonna
The building is the Casa Rosada, the Pink House of Buenos Aires. It is located on the east side of Plaza de Mayo. This presidential palace dates back to President Sarmiento's time. The pink salmon color supposedly comes from Sarmiento's attempt to bring peace between the Federalists ("red party") and the Unitarists ("white" party) parties. Another theory is that the Casa Rosada is pink from the use of bovine blood as a coloring agent. Eva Peron rallied the Argentine people from the balcony of this building, as did her husband Juan Peron and many other politicians who have convened groups of Argentines in the Plaza de Mayo over the years.

An alternative explanation suggests that the original paint contained cow's blood to prevent damage from the effects of humidity.
