The building featured in Where in the World (160) is known as the Casa Rosada and is the equivalent of the better known White House in Washington DC. Both are where you find the Office of the President of the respective countries. The Casa Rosada looks out across the Playa de a Mayo where people gathered in protest on several occasions often fomenting revolution in this countries turbulent past. The balcony of the Casa Rosada also features in the musical Evita which of course is set in Argentina. This famous building and the square it overlooks is in Buenos Aires.

The the iconic structure of featured in this weeks distorted city is some way from the city centre but is always associated with the city to be identified. It is a structure of beauty at anytime of the day but looks most elegant when lit up at night.
