The Congress of the Argentine Nation ( of the government of Argentina . Argentina's parliament is Bicameral . It is made up of a 72-seat Senate and a 257-seat Chamber Of Deputies . The construction of the building started in 1898 during Bartolomé Mitre 's mandate, and in 1906 it was precariously opened, to be later finished by ''Julio Dormal'' years later. As time went by, the building proved too small for its purpose, and in 1974 the construction of the ''Edificio Anexo'', which now holds the deputies' offices, was started. In front of the building lies the Square of the Two Congresses ( Spanish : ''Plaza de los Dos Congresos'') which is a popular site for sightseeing, as well as a preferred location for protestors and those who want to voice their opinion about congress.
