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. [5] The law was again modified in 2008, [6] 2011, [7] and 2013. [8]
