			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Come to the United States of America and see the Chaco National Historic Park which is a greatly adventurous and exciting destination in this part of the world. Come here and experience the feeling of being in a land filled with the best pueblos in the American Southwest. Located in the northwestern part of <a title="Reap Your Holiday Treasures from the Land of Mexico" href="http://www.countryguides360.com/mexico-tourist-attractions.html">Mexico</a>, this is a beautiful land lying between Farmington and Albuquerque and offers the best travel sights. This is situated in a remote canyon that is dissected by the Chaco Wash. It has the best plethora of ancient Mexican ruins and also has the most pre historical areas and cultural locales of this part of the world.</p>
<p>Sometime between the years 900AD and 1150 AD the canyon of Chaco was a major hub of the Ancient Pueblo Culture. The people here used to quarry sandstone blocks and also used to pull timber to great lengths. They used to assemble a lot of major complexes and these till today are the largest structures in Northern part of America. There is lot of proof of the archaeoastronomy in the Chaco region and there is a petroglyph &#8220;Sun Dagger&#8221; which is a great example of the culture that existed here then.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Chaco-National-Historic-Park.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2333" title="Chaco National Historic Park" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Chaco-National-Historic-Park.jpg" alt="Chaco National Historic Park" width="530" height="397" /></a></p>
<p>There are Chacoan buildings that are linked to take over the lunar and solar cycles and these require lot of astronomical observations and lot of co-ordination of construction. There has been a lot of climate change that has been thought to have led to the ousting of the Chacoans in this land and then they had to abandon the canyon.</p>
<p>The Chacoan sites of culture are weak and there are fears of them getting eroded if the tourists trample these places. In fact it is such tourist visits that have accelerated the Fajada Butte being closed to the public. These sites are considered to be the sacred places of the people who migrated from this land.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Chacoan-buildings.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2331" title="Chacoan buildings" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Chacoan-buildings.jpg" alt="Chacoan buildings" width="534" height="341" /></a></p>
<p>So this Chaco Canyon that is located within the basin of San Juan is on top of the Plateau of Colorado and has the majestic Chuska Mountains in the west. The San Juan Mountains bound it on the northern side and the San Pedro Mountains in the eastern side. There were many ancient Chacoans who used the resources of the oak, pinon, ponderosa pine and also the juniper and made themselves economically independent.</p>
<p>So this canyon that is found between two flat massifs is a lovely place to be in and has a great history behind it too. The canyon has aquifers which were very deep for the ancient Chacoans and there were many smaller sources of water like the small springs that used to bear them.</p>
<p>The flora and fauna in the Chaco region is mainly the sagebrush and the cactus species. They have dry scrub forests of juniper and pinon also. Then you have the wildlife and plants that have been existent since ancient times.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Chaco-national-historical-park-Farmington-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2332" title="Chaco national historical park Farmington" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Chaco-national-historical-park-Farmington-1.jpg" alt="Chaco national historical park Farmington" width="542" height="406" /></a></p>
<p>There is lot of wildlife found in the Chacoan region and thus you can see the deer, mule, pronghorn and the elk. But normally visitors do not come here and disturb the animals. Then you have the bobcats, foxes, badgers, skunks etc. There are small colonies of bats which are seen in the summer season. There is a general shortage of water so the bird species present here are the roadrunners, American kestrels, large hawks, vultures, owls, ravens and also many other species of birds. Then there are the smaller birds like the sparrows, warblers, house finches and the humming birds. The rufous hummingbird is very common here. This is a breeding habitat for the trees and the shrubs and these are found amongst the Western Prairie rattlesnakes.</p>
<p>Come here and see the lovely delights of being in a land of wild pleasures. South America is a region which is a greatly interesting and fascinating locale filled with the best tour experiences. Any person coming here would surely go back with a lot of travel memories.</p>
<p>Visit the Chaco region in South America and enjoy the pleasures of being in a beautiful land of delights.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the best pleasures of African delights, the tours here are a great delight. Enjoy the sights of the Great Pyramids of Giza.</p>
<p>The Pyramids of Giza is the oldest wonder in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This is the only one to be absolutely intact. There are many who believe that the pyramid was constructed as a tomb for the Egyptian Pharaoh dynasty Khufu. It was initially constructed at a height of around 146.5 metres was the tallest structure that was made by man in the world for around 3,800 years. It was a Great Pyramid that was covered with casing stones and thus formed a very smooth surface. This is today the core structure. There are sights of some of the casing stones which were present here initially. Many theories surround the science and theory of the pyramids of Giza. The most accepted theory is that it was built by transferring huge stones from a quarry and then lifting them into position.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/The-Great-Pyramid-Of-Giza-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2316" title="Great Pyramid Of Giza" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/The-Great-Pyramid-Of-Giza-3.jpg" alt="Great Pyramid Of Giza" width="533" height="355" /></a></p>
<p>The Great Pyramid has three chambers within. The lowest chamber is cut into a bedrock. This is the structure on top of which the pyramid has been constructed and has also been left unfinished. The Kings Chamber and the Queens Chamber are higher in the structure of the pyramid. <strong>The Great Pyramid of Giza</strong> is the only Egyptian pyramid which has descending and ascending passages. The main part of the <a title="Pyramids of Giza Tour Pleasures" href="http://www.countryguides360.com/pyramids-of-giza-tour-pleasures.html">pyramid</a> is a collection of buildings and this is inclusive of two mortuary temples in reverence of Khufu. There are three smaller such pyramids for the wives of the Khufu. There is also a satellite pyramid which is a raised causeway which links the two temples. there are small mastaba tombs which surround the pyramid for the nobles.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Pyramid-of-Khufu.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2318" title="Pyramid of Khufu" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Pyramid-of-Khufu.jpg" alt="Pyramid of Khufu" width="535" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>There are around 2.3 million blocks of limestone and most of them have been transported from quarries. The Tura limestone is used for casing that has been quarried across the river. The pyramid has some of the largest granite stones and these are found in the King&#8217;s chamber and these weigh at least 25 to 80 tonnes. These were brought from Aswan and these are more than 500 miles away from the pyramid. The Egyptians earlier used to cut the stone blocks and embedded wooded wedges into the stone. These stones were earlier soaked in water. When the stones absorbed the water, the wedges grew and the rock cracked. Then they were carried by boat up the Nile River to the pyramid. It is said that around 5.5 million tons of such limestone was carted in the process and around 8000 tonnes of granite was imported from Aswan. More than 500,000 tons of mortar was used in building the Great Pyramid.</p>
<p>The Pyramids of Giza are made of <strong>the Great Pyramid of Giza</strong> which is known as the Great Pyramid and also The Pyramid of Khufu and Cheops. The Pyramid of Khafre is a smaller one and it is also called chephren. These lie a little hundred metres in the south western direction and there is also the Pyramid of Menkaure which is around 100 metres from there.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Pyramid-of-Khafre.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2317" title="Pyramid of Khafre" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Pyramid-of-Khafre.jpg" alt="Pyramid of Khafre" width="536" height="343" /></a></p>
<p>The Great Sphinx is on the eastern side of this structure. It is said that the Great Sphinx is of Khafre. There are many monuments that are found alongwith the Great pyramids of Giza. These include the causeways, pyramids, valley pyramids and the queen&#8217;s pyramids.</p>
<p>Egypt is a land of pleasures and beautiful sights, and gives the best delights of a lovely destination to visit. Come here and enjoy the beauty of Africa and experience the best of travel delights. When here, the tourist always is in a dreamland and finds this land a great paradise. African pleasures are always extravagant and exotic and give the tourist a great chance to enjoy the beauty of the sights here. Mother Nature seemingly blesses the tourists coming to this part of the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>South American tours are the best when it comes to excitement, adventure and thrills in tours. When there is a region which is loaded with the best pleasures of travel and tourism, and  then it is ideal that the entire region is explored in such a way such that the whole region blooms in the pleasures of a great travel experience.</p>
<p>Situated in the southwestern province of the Tierra del Fuego over the Chile border, the Tierra Del fuego is a lovely example of the Patagonian and Andean forest. Created sometime in the year 1960, this entire forest region has a park area of around 63,000 hectares.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Tierra-Del-fuego-National-Parks.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2311" title="Tierra Del fuego National Parks" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Tierra-Del-fuego-National-Parks.jpg" alt="Tierra Del fuego National Parks" width="535" height="329" /></a></p>
<p>There is a beautiful sight of the Andes region here and the sheer pleasure of seeing the beautiful rivers and the glacial lakes is a great sight for the eyes. There are two types of forests in the Tierra Del Fuego – One is the guindo and the Lenga forests and the other is the underwood which is mostly made up of fern and moss.</p>
<p>Tierra Del fuego surely features in the loveliest places to visit in South American region. It is a region filled with peat and sphagnum moss. There are two great bays here</p>
<p>Tierra del Fuego National Park .In the spaces within the forests there is plenty of peat in very humid, flooded areas where the sphagnum moss grows.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Tierra-Del-fuego-Island.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2309" title="Tierra Del fuego Island" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Tierra-Del-fuego-Island.jpg" alt="Tierra Del fuego Island" width="536" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>There are two beautiful bays here – The Ensenada and the Lapataia which are filled with the most fascinating gorges and the most fascinating beaches which form the best sights here in the land of the white cauquenes. With the beautiful black eyebrowed albatross which are more than two metres long and these are found to cohabit with the diving petrel. Here is where you would find a very rare otter called chungungo.</p>
<p>Then there are the guanaco species and also the red fox species which are greatly found in the Tierra Del fuego. The Canadian beaver causes a lot of problems here as there is generally a tendency for the animal to cut down trees and cause a lot of environmental impact.</p>
<p>The Yamanas aborigines were the primitive inhabitants of this region and they occupied the Lapataia bay area.  Seafood was their main food. Even today we can see circles caused by mollusks indicating that there were settlements here some time back.</p>
<p>One can come to this <a title="Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park – One of Africa’s great Parks" href="http://www.countryguides360.com/kgalagadi-transfrontier-park-one-of-africas-great-parks.html">park</a> via the National Route 3 and there are also daily flights which connect the place to the city of Buenos Aires.</p>
<p>There are camping areas here near the Lake Roca and this is an ideal locale for all those who wish to see something natural and spectacular.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Lake-Roca.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2310" title="Lake Roca" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Lake-Roca.jpg" alt="Lake Roca" width="535" height="356" /></a></p>
<p>With the trekking paths that are found inside the park the trekking experiences here are greatly exciting and interesting too. Also enter the Black Lagoon which is a dark coloured region due to the presence of peat here.</p>
<p>With the pleasures of beautiful travels and the ambience of a green paradise, the travels to the Tierra Del Fuego National Park are very enchanting and interesting and provide the tourist the best ways to unwind and relax. Come here and feel the pleasures of being in a land of delightful experiences and beautiful travel memories.</p>
<p>The entire island runs along the coast that stretches for around 800 m and the sights of the beautiful birds and the ceaseless vegetation is what makes tours to this part of the world very enthralling and it is truly a nature lover&#8217;s paradise and a photographer&#8217;s delight.</p>
<p>There are many trekking paths inside the Park that can be easily followed and undertaken too. The peat that is found here intrigues many who come here in pursuit of a lot of thrilling experiences.</p>
<p>The Tierra Del Fuego is a lovely land to visit in the South American continent and provides a lot of thrilling movements and natural experiences. Come here and bask in the pleasures of these continental pleasures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Cadillac Ranch has become a great travel attraction in this part of the world in North America. This very unconventional art establishment has become a rave tourist fare in America and it has become the inspiration for people who have written songs, and made movies on it.</p>
<p>Situated around two miles away from the city of Texas in the United States of America, the Cadillac Ranch is approached easily from the city and is an establishment that took birth in the year 1974. Here Ten Cadillac cars are exposed on the property of Stanly who is a great billionaire here. It is found on the private property of the person and the owner only allows people to admire his collection. The Cadillacs on display here are a total fascination for a car lover and the oldest one goes back to the time of the year 1949. The most recent Cadillac belongs to the year 1963.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Cadillac-Ranch.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2305" title="Cadillac Ranch" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Cadillac-Ranch.jpg" alt="Cadillac Ranch" width="537" height="359" /></a></p>
<p>The Ant Group Farm was the one which came with this unique idea of launching a Cadillac based ranch and this experimental art and design construction is a great attraction for all tourists coming to this part of the world. Stanley financed the whole project and placed cars in his own locale. There was an initial plan to dig around 10 holes for each car and these holes measuring around 8 feet deep were then put inside the ground. Only half of the Cadillacs were visible and they all looked like domino pieces all lined up.</p>
<p>People have painted and created a lot of graffiti all over the car and it looks very interesting. It is a rule that anyone who comes here can write anything on the car and feel that he is a part of the place. The message does not remain for a long time because there are many people doing the same thing and thus it gets all mixed up.<br />
The owner gets the car painted from time to time in a basic colour for maintaining the car and this is one reason why travellers get inspired to leave colourful messages on the cars.</p>
<p>There is an anniversary day for the Cadillac Ranch and visitors who come here can participate in the Cadillac Party which is a very important event here. This anniversary day which falls on March 3 is one that has a party with free drinks and there is lot of fun on this day.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Cadillacs-1949.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2302" title="Cadillacs 1949" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Cadillacs-1949.jpg" alt="Cadillacs 1949" width="536" height="401" /></a></p>
<p>So if you are planning to visit the Cadillac Ranch then make sure you take part in the party that is held here annually. There are music videos for the Cadillac Ranch and there is a documentary called the Underground Adventures with Ant Farm. Listen to this and grove to the tune of the Cadillac Ranch.</p>
<p>With a lot of attractive sights, the Cadillac Ranch is a sight that is a welcome symbol for all American art lovers. The kids who come here love to paint and spray in the cars and this is a personal experience that is very interesting and exciting for all the art lovers.</p>
<p>This is a lovely art locale in Armarillo in <a title="Austin, Texas – Sights" href="http://www.countryguides360.com/austin-texas-sights.html">Texas</a> and was the creation of Chip, Lord, Doug Michel, Hudson Marquez who were the mainstay of an art group here. It has basically junk automobiles of the Cadillac brand and these represent a lot of car evolutions and how the Cadillac emerged between the years 1949 to 1963.</p>
<p>Originally situated in a wheat field, today the Cadillac Ranch has been relocated to the western side to a cow pasture which is located along the Interstate 40. There are artistic endeavors like the Floating Mesa, the Cadillac Ranch, and the Amarillo Ramp which together make up the Dynamite Museum here.</p>
<p>The Cadillac Ranch is today a major tourist attraction in North America and is visible from the highway and is a great and interesting place to be in.</p>

<p>Visit the Rector&#8217;s Palace and enjoy the sights of the Luza Square here. This is where the RagusanGovenrment worked and also where the Rector used to live. The Rector is the first prince who ruled this place from here. When the army belonging to Napoleon got dissolved the position of the Rector was reduced. There was a new Rector who was selected every month. The palace has been modeled like the imperial places found in<a title="The Pope’s Vatican City will Bless You!" href="http://www.countryguides360.com/vatican-tours-rome-italy.html"> Rome</a>. A lot of Venetian influence is seen in the palace ad it was in the year 1435, that it was destroyed by explosion form gunpowder then it was built in a late gothic sty. Then in the year there was another blast and then there was another earthquake in the year 1667 which totally damaged the entire city. Today what we see is the final manner in which the whole structure was built towards the end of the 17th century.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Rectors-Palace.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2295" title="Rector  Palace" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Rectors-Palace.jpg" alt="Rector  Palace" width="535" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>There is a central portico which has beautiful archways and then there is a mezzanine which is on the second story. The rooms are very interesting and they make you relaxed and as you explore the area around the beauty of the structure is manifested in the archways and open ceilings.</p>
<p>Then visit the Pile Gate which is another northern gate in the city. There is a stone bridge with two arches built in the Gothic style. As we move towards the exit, you would reach the Tower Loverjenac. As we enter the outer draw bridge is joined by a bridge on the internal side and this leads to the main city. When you have light, you would be able to get some of the best photos of the Pile Gate. With the majestic Adriatic in the background the sights of the Tower Bokar and the Tower Loverjenac is a lovely experience and is something that you would cherish forever.</p>
<p>Then you have the Big Onofrio&#8217;s Fountain and this rounded structure near the Pile Gate is another major attraction in this part of the world. Come here and enjoy this water fountain with 16 sides. This is truly a work of art and the engineering elegance in this structure is what attracts the tourist to see this. The structure with its lovely design and irrigation flow is surely one that remains an intrigue to all. Get to see the way it functions and see how the water that is around 20 km away serves this fountain. A really wonderful work of art and is really something that should not be missed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/pile-gate.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2296" title="Pile Gate" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/pile-gate.jpg" alt="Pile Gate" width="535" height="401" /></a></p>
<p>Dubrovnik was referred by Lord Byron as the &#8220;the Pearl of the Adriatic&#8221; and was founded sometime in the 7th century by the Romans. This was protected by the Byzantine Empire sometime between 867 and 1205 and was mainly an independent republic. Dubrovnik had one of the major merchant fleets in the Mediterranean and was the main cultural hub of the South Slavs. During the Second World War the German and the Italian forces occupied Dubrovnik. In the year 1991, when Croatia became independent, then the Serbian forces attacked the town and destroyed many historical sites.</p>
<p>Dubrovnik today is a place which gives you the incentive to explore the hills above and also is a lovely place to be in, in Croatia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Africa is a land of ancient monuments and greatly enchanting sights. Come here and bask in the pleasures of the most engrossing travel pleasures, which are a great way to enjoy tours here.</p>
<p>The <strong>Pyramids of Giza</strong> are one such tour experiences here and give you the ideal travel pleasures. One of the most ancient monuments in this part of the world, this is actually one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. It is still very much existing in this part of Africa. Of the three pyramids that exist here one is the Great Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops and it was constructed by the Khufu Pharaoh sometime in the year 2560 BC and is the oldest and largest monument in this part of the world.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Pyramids-of-Giza.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2284" title="Pyramids of Giza" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Pyramids-of-Giza.jpg" alt="Pyramids of Giza" width="537" height="329" /></a></p>
<p>This is around 136 m height and has each side measuring around 229 m. With each side made such that it composes the four cardinal directions North, East, South and West. There is a gradient here on the side and it is at an angle of 51 degrees 51 minutes. There are around two million blocks of stone in this construction.</p>
<p>The Pyramid of khafre or Chephren is located in the southwestern direction of Cheops. It looks taller than the Great Pyramid and stands on a ground that is a little higher from the rest. This pyramid was a construction of Khafre who was Khufu&#8217;s son. It is actually smaller than Cheops.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Pyramid-of-khafre-or-Chephren.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2285" title="Pyramid of khafre or Chephren" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Pyramid-of-khafre-or-Chephren.jpg" alt="Pyramid of khafre or Chephren" width="535" height="356" /></a></p>
<p>Then you have the third pyramid which is the Pyramid of Menkaure or the Mycerinus. It stands at a height of around 67m or 220 ft high. This is constructed by Menkaure who is Khafre&#8217;s son. This is the place where the famous Sphinx is found. It is in front of the Great Pyramid and is seen with the body of a lion and is joined to the head of a man.</p>
<p>The Sphinx is around 60 m or 200 feet long and 20m or 65 ft high. This was carved around 4500 years back out of a single sandstone block. This was left over from the construction of the Great Pyramid.</p>
<p>Giza is a place which has the most fascinating sights and the most delightful vies. The sights here are very popular and tourists across the world come to enjoy the visual delights of this place.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Pyramids-of-Giza-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2286" title="Pyramids of Giza" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Pyramids-of-Giza-1.jpg" alt="Pyramids of Giza" width="536" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>The <strong>Pyramids of Giza</strong> are a great place to be in just for the sheer fascination and the excitement that this land provides. They are the oldest forms of architectural forms of the human beings and they have actually helped encourage the status of <a title="Egypt – The City With An Extra-Ordinary Past Life" href="http://www.countryguides360.com/egypt-the-city-with-an-extra-ordinary-past-life.html">Egypt</a> as a tour destination. The country actually attracted around 3.6 million foreigners in the year 2009.</p>
<p>The construction of this pyramid started sometime in the year 2560 BC under the guidance of Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu. This became his resting place after he died and then the trend of constructing similar structures was ordered. In fact the pharaohs Menkaure and Khafre decided to have themselves mummified in this place.</p>
<p>There are many conspiracy theories about this place but these have been disregarded by the Egyptologists. It is known that 20,000 ancient land Egyptians used this some simple machines and slopes as pulleys to pull up the seven ton like stone blocks in proper place.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Pyramids-of-Giza-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2287" title="Pyramids of Giza" src="http://www.countryguides360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Pyramids-of-Giza-3.jpg" alt="Pyramids of Giza" width="535" height="401" /></a></p>
<p>The<strong> Pyramids of Giza</strong> became very popular in the last two centuries during the period preceding the birth of Christ. This happened when the Greek poet Anitpater of Sidon made this place one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This has been a great attraction for all tourists coming to this part of the world.</p>
<p>So come to Giza which is around 5 miles from the pyramids and has lovely travel pleasures to enchant you in the land of Africa.</p>

<h5>Casa Rosada</h5>
<p>Also called the Pink House this is the government house. This building in <strong>Buenos Aires</strong> has the Executive Power. Constructed in the year 1580, this too underwent a lot of modifications and it was Francisco Tamburini, the Italian architect who helped in bringing it to what it looks today. The entire façade had to be rebuilt and the whole building got an Italian French appearance. During the time Domingo Faustino Sarmiento ruled, the building got a pink colour and this was with the idea of combining the red of the federals and the white of the unitaries thus producing a merged effect of pink. So the building is called the Casa Rosada or the Pink House. This building is guarded by the Grandaderos who are an elite army group.</p>
