Ministerio de Economía

In June 1955 Argentine naval aircraft strafed Plaza de Mayo in the first step of a military coup, killing more than 300 civilians who were gathered in support of Juan Domingo Perón and forcing the president to flee into exile in Spain. On the northern side of the Ministerio de Economía, an inconspicuous plaque commemorates the attacks (look for the bullet holes to the left of the doors).
