Unzué Palace (Spanish: El palacio Unzué), also known as Quinta Unzué, was the presidential residence of the Argentine Republic during the presidency of Juan Domingo Perón (1946-1955), and became a place of pilgrimage and cult after the death of Eva Perón in 1952. The building's symbolic importance was such that, after the military coup that led to Perón's downfall in 1955, the dictators who subsequently took power ordered its complete demolition, in order to erase all traces of its former occupants. The residence occupied a large plot in Buenos Aires of almost three blocks, with tree lined gardens. It was located between Avenida del Libertador, Austria, Agüero and Avenida Las Heras. Following its destruction, the current the National Library of Argentina was constructed between 1962 and 1992.
