Comments

The term Cabildo comes from the Latin "capitulum" (meaning "at the head of", but also "meeting of the superior authority"). Capitulum itself comes from "capite" (the head). The word Cabildo designated the institution that was in charge of the whole administration of a city, the concept existed in Spain, and was brought by the first conquistadores at the beginning of the colonization of America.
The Cabildo is the place where the independence of Argentina was signed on May 25, 1810 by General San Martin during the May Revolution. It is located in front of the Plaza de Mayo.
Today it is a small museum with four rooms where you can see what Buenos Aires was like during the colonial era. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Le terme de Cabildo vient du latin « capitulum » (signifiant : « à la tête de », mais aussi « réunion de l'autorité supérieure »). Capitulum provenant lui-même de « capite » (la tête). Le mot Cabildo désignait donc l'institution qui prenait en charge toute l'administration d'une cité, le concept existait en Espagne, et fut apporté par les premiers conquistadores dès le début de la colonisation de l'Amérique.
Le Cabildo est le lieu où a été signée le 25 mai 1810 l'indépendance de l'Argentine par le Général San Martin lors de la révolution de mai. Il est situé en face de la Plaza de Mayo (place de mai).
Aujourd'hui, c'est un petit musée de quatre pièces où l'on voit ce qu'était Buenos Aires à l'époque coloniale.
