From here, you can access the historic balcony of the first floor from which several presidents addressed, on different occasions, the Argentine people gathered in the Plaza de Mayo.

Structurally, it is composed of two spaces. In the larger one, where today the meetings of the national cabinet are held, there is a large and monumental oak table and twenty-eight chairs, two of them larger and with the national shield.

It was originally the Hall of the Shields of the Ministry of the Interior. The ceiling is decorated with mouldings of different reliefs, formats and shades, fresco paintings with allegories on a celestial background and golden stars and, on its perimeter, with the shields of the Argentine Provinces (c. 1890).

In the other, smaller space, there is a sober furniture that includes a set of armchairs, a mouse table and one of Eva Perón's desks.
