The constructive intervention of the Revolution Square was one of the main works carried out by the Office of the Historian during the past year and the beginning of this one. The restoration of the friezes and the furniture, the cleaning of the Jaimanita and the replacement of the electrical system were some of the main objectives of the intervention.

The Revolution Square Museum Mayor General Ignacio Agamonte is a sociocultural institution belonging to the Office of the Historian, an institution of great importance in the territory. Some of the most important socio-political events in the province have taken place here.
