Communes of Buenos Aires

The city of Buenos Aires is administratively divided into fifteen comunas,[1] unlike the Province of Buenos Aires, which is subdivided into partidos, or the rest of Argentina, in which the second-order administrative division is departamentos.

[2] Each comuna encompasses one or more neighbourhoods (barrios), which are represented in the respective community centres for administrative purposes.

[3] The division by comunas was instituted by the 1996 Constitution of the City of Buenos Aires,[4] and modified in 2005 by Law #1777.

[8] The comunas are serially numbered.

They are listed below in numerical order together with their constituent neighbourhoods.
