Communes of Buenos Aires
The comunas separately coloured, showing neighbourhood divisions
The city of Buenos Aires is administratively divided into fifteen comunas, 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. Each comuna encompasses one or more neighbourhoods (barrios), which are represented in the respective community centres for administrative purposes.
The division by comunas was instituted by the 1996 Constitution of the City of Buenos Aires, and modified in 2005 by Law #1777. The law was again modified in 2008, 2011, and 2013.
