Julio Dormal

Julio Dormal Godet (1846–1924) was a Belgian architect who, after studying in Paris, arrived in Argentina in 1868 where he became one of the first exponents of the Beaux-Arts style of architecture.

He built the Palermo Race Course and designed the layout of Parque Tres de Febrero, a park in the neighbourhood of Palermo in Buenos Aires, completed in 1876.

Construction of the Congress building, designed by the Italian architect Vittorio Meano, began in 1898.

In the city of La Plata, Dormal was involved with the building of the Government House, and in Buenos Aires with the final details of the Teatro Colón and with the remodeling of the old Teatro Opera.
