Comments

The term Cabildo comes from the Latin "capitulum" (meaning "at the head of", but also "meeting of the higher authority"). Capitulum itself comes from "capite" (the head). The word Cabildo thus designated the institution in charge of a city's entire administration. The concept existed in Spain, and was brought over by the first conquistadores at the start of the colonization of America.
The Cabildo is where General San Martin signed Argentina's independence on May 25, 1810, during the May Revolution. It is located opposite the Plaza de Mayo (May Square).
Today, it's a small four-room museum showing what Buenos Aires was like in colonial times. 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.
