The Casa Rosada (Pink House)-taking up the entire east end of Plaza de Mayo (see below)-is Argentina's presidential palace, from whose storied balcony Juan and Evita Perón (and later a lip-synching Madonna) wooed the masses. Resembling a colossal wedding cake covered in strawberry icing, the Casa Rosada originally got its rosy glow from the curious Argentinean practice of adding ox blood to whitewash. These days, the official nerve center of Argentina's national government is actually two-toned: The front is rosier than the rest because a recent effort to refurbish the grand pile ran out of cash.
