"The cabildo was once the center of government during Spanish rule. You can always find a cabildo and a Catholic church in the main plaza of every major city in Argentina. This is because the church had so much power at that time, that they liked to keep the power concentrated- both the government and church in one place.
In Buenos Aires, you can find the Catedral Metropolitana just next to the Cabildo in Plaza de Mayo.
Cabildos all across Argentina are now FREE museums where you can learn the history of each city, see artifacts from indigenous peoples who populated the area, and learn how each cabildo was built, and who the heroes were of each city.
The BA cabildo is one of the most beautiful. From the second floor balcony, you have a great view of the entire Plaza de Mayo with the Casa Rosada straight ahead of you. In the back courtyard there is a small feria selling souvenirs, and a few additional houses with more history on the walls.

The Cabildo is in the same place since 1580 but has a lot of modifications on its structure. Even though, this beautiful building, now the National Museum of the Cabildo and the May Revolution, has a lot of history inside.
