On #IndependenceDay, we know the secrets of the Historic House. 🇦🇷 Built in the 1760s, it was the largest in the city, typically colonial: three pavilions parallel to the street, between which were two courtyards and, at the back, the orchard. Used as barracks, customs house, war warehouse and army printing house, it underwent several modifications until it was demolished in 1904. Rebuilt and reopened (now a National Historic Monument) in 1943, the Jura Hall remains from the original house. From its walls hang the portraits of the members of the Congress next to the table and the armchairs that were used in the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The visits to the Historic House (currently suspended) allow to appreciate the two bronze murals made by the famous sculptor Lola Mora from Tucumán. And through a light and sound show you can relive those historic days of more than two centuries ago. Have you already been to the Historic House of #Independence? What other museum in the country are you missing? 🇦🇷
