I thought I forgot to take photos during the tour because I was enjoying it. The guide was very informative and the collections were very special. The guide even took us to some rooms exclusive for their tours.

The PALACIO illustrates and pays tribute to THE DIVINE COMEDY written by DANTE ALIGHIERI. This building shows a unique architectural style, mingling the neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic appearance followed by the dome, with its original hindu design, which belongs to the region of Bhubaneshwar. It represents the tantric union between Dante and Beatrice, both protagonists of The Divine Comedy.

It was a great time had during the tour (of about an hour & a half from about 11 15 am to 12 45 pm) of this 1920's building inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy in which I ascended from Hell through Purgatory to Heaven (as the floors of the Building are grouped in such way) while along the way was also like a metaphorical or symbolic "purifying of your soul", and yes it's from Heaven meaning the level with small balconies just before the Lighthouse (on the very top of the Building) then the Lighthouse itself that you get "pretty phenomenal" 360-degree views of the city especially to the west (where actually at just a very short distance from this building is the "spacious rectangular" Plaza Congreso & the green-domed building of Congreso Nacional past the plaza) and to the east (where the view is all the way to the "super tall" high-rises of the Puerto Madero waterfront and where you'll also see a little to the southeast one side of the two-sided Eva Peron's mural on Avenida 9 de Julio). As for the "structural part" of the Building: it was a "nice variety" of taking the old "original elevator" (likely the same one from the 1920's), the wide spiral stairways & also the "quite narrow" spiral stairway to the Lighthouse; sitting inside the Lighthouse with its big round-shaped light so close by was something I'd never done before (although I got inside two more of them later on in Uruguay); the fairly-big deck on the back side with the big "green facade" of like an Indian-styled architecture was quite awesome to look at (on our way down from the Lighthouse); and finally it was pretty great to get to sit behind the owner's desk in his office where there's also a copy of the "original Divine Comedy" (the last stop of the tour before going back down). So, the only thing somewhat on the downside about this site is the cost of the tour (which was 700 or so argentina pesos or about 20 US$ as of last January when I visited) was like more than twice of what I paid later at Palacio Salvo in Montevideo (which is like the "sister site" of this site) although yes what justifies the cost here I would say is its great views from above (as mentioned above) which you won't get at Palacio Salvo (with no top-floor balconies to go out for a view there & just kind of a "limited view" from its very top); and yes also my "great thanks" are to our tour guide Lucy for her "wonderful friendliness" and for her great knowledge of the Building (& the Divine Comedy too) who really just kept us all informed of all we needed to know throughout the tour. If coming by metro, Saenz Pena Station (Line A) is where to get off which is just conveniently right in front of this building on Avenida de Mayo. And apart from Plaza Congreso & the Congreso Nacional building (as mentioned above where it just takes about 5 minutes by turning left after coming out of here and going through the Plaza to the front gate of Congress), it's actually also not too far to the east end of that avenue (about a 15-minute walk to the right after coming out of here with also Avenida 9 de Julio to cross along the way) where there's Plaza de Mayo with Casa Rosada Presidential Palace & Metropolitan Cathedral (with the tomb of the libertador General San Martin).
