The Pirámide de Mayo, located at the hub of the Plaza de Mayo, is the oldest national monument in the City of Buenos Aires. Its construction was ordered in 1811 by the Primera Junta to celebrate the first anniversary of the May Revolution. It was renovated in 1856, under the direction of Prilidiano Pueyrredón.

Plaza de Mayo
This is the main plaza in Buenos Aires. It was here in 1977 that the group "The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo" was formed seeking justice for the disappeared. It was this group that was instrumental in causing the collapse of the military dictatorship and inspired similar groups in South and Central America. Today it has returned to being a much more peaceful place, where many people sit and relax surrounded by the Casa Rosado, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Cabildo, the Head Quarters of the National Bank of Argentina and other well known Buenos Aires buildings.
