The government mansion, Casa Rosada, stands at one end of the small park. Outlines of human figures are painted in white, each has a name and the date when that person 'disappeared'. On Thursdays, the mothers of the disappeared come to the square to demonstrate silently.
At 6pm everyday the Grenadiers march out of the Casa Rosada. They goose-step out of the main entrance, across the road into Plaza de Mayo where they take down the Argentinian flag from its pole.
