Civic Courtyard

Its magnificent staircase represents the patriots’ efforts to organize the State.

It starts at the atrium, with the statue of the Mother Nation and goes up to the Propylaeum through a staircase that symbolizes the obstacles faced by the post-1810 generations in the organization of the Argentine society: wars, conflicts, arguments, treaties. This area, flanked by 22 lamp-flagpoles with the Argentine flag, is the place chosen both for small gatherings and great festivities and celebrations.
