Editing Palace (section)

=== Argentina ===
All major cities in [[Argentina]] have prominent palaces due to the great economic growth the country went through in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In that time Argentina was one of the largest exporters of grain, meat, wool and leather in the world. The country's new elite was eager to show their wealth to the world, which is the reason they often hired european architects and in many cases, even imported all the construction materials needed. Some of those palaces are still residential and many others have become hotels, museums and embassies. Some examples of this are [[Palacio Duhau - Park Hyatt Buenos Aires|Palacio Duhau]], [[:es:Palacio_Álzaga_Unzué|Palacio Álzaga Unzué]], [[Bosch Palace|Palacio Bosch]], [[Paz Palace|Palacio Paz]] and [[San Martín Palace|Palacio San Martín]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=1998-11-13 |title=Palacios porteños |url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/lifestyle/palacios-portenos-nid195440/ |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=LA NACION |language=es}}</ref>

Also, [[President of Argentina|President]] [[Domingo Faustino Sarmiento]] claimed that Argentine schools should be palaces because that would encourage children and teenagers to go to school. For that reason many public schools are opulent and are called "escuelas palacio".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mejía |first=Virginia |date=2016-05-04 |title=Escuelas palacio: un privilegio del pasado porteño que aún subsiste |url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/educacion/escuelas-palacio-un-privilegio-del-pasado-porteno-que-aun-subsiste-nid1895164/ |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=LA NACION |language=es}}</ref> Some examples of this are [[Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires]], [[Rafael Hernández National College|Colegio Nacional Rafael Hernández]], [[Escuela Superior de Comercio Carlos Pellegrini]], [[:es:Colegio_Mariano_Moreno|Colegio Mariano Moreno]] and [[:es:Escuela_Normal_1_de_Buenos_Aires|Escuela Normal Sáenz Peña]].
