CASA DEL VIRREY LINIERS
Declared a National Historic Monument, the House of Viceroy Liniers was the seat of the power of Santiago de Liniers, in charge of the reconquest of Buenos Aires after the English invasions of 1806 and 1807. Liberator of the city, who was also named the "Vice-King of the Rio de la Plata" was a Frenchman from Niort who became an officer in the Spanish Navy. The terms of capitulation, negotiated with British General William Beresford, were discussed in this house in 1809. The building, which is now one of the oldest houses in Buenos Aires, was refurbished at the end of 2017. This colonial construction of the late eighteenth century has characteristics typical of its era like its façade of whitewashed walls, its roof roof and its wooden entrance door.
