## List of Communes

The City of Buenos Aires has 15 communes as third level administrative-territorial divisions with delegated powers. All of them have same generic logos that were granted to them, but with time they started to adopt different logos and emblems.

The comuna are serially numbered. They are listed below in numerical order together with their constituent neighbourhoods.

- Comuna 1: Puerto Madero, San Nicolás, Retiro, Monserrat, San Telmo and Constitución
- Comuna 2: Recoleta
- Comuna 3: Balvanera and San Cristóbal
- Comuna 4: La Boca, Barracas, Parque Patricios and Nueva Pompeya
- Comuna 5: Almagro and Boedo
- Comuna 6: Caballito
- Comuna 7: Flores and Parque Chacabuco
- Comuna 8: Villa Soldati, Villa Lugano and Villa Riachuelo
- Comuna 9: Parque Avellaneda, Mataderos and Liniers
- Comuna 10: Villa Luro, Vélez Sársfield, Floresta, Monte Castro, Villa Real and Versalles
- Comuna 11: Villa Devoto, Villa del Parque, Villa Santa Rita and Villa General Mitre
- Comuna 12: Villa Pueyrredón, Villa Urquiza, Coghlan and Saavedra
- Comuna 13: Núñez, Belgrano and Colegiales
- Comuna 14: Palermo
- Comuna 15: Villa Ortúzar, Chacarita, Villa Crespo, La Paternal, Agronomía and Parque Chas.

These entities have no special names, but are numbered, from Comuna 1 to Comuna 15. Although in 2016 it was proposed that every commune would get its own emblem and flag, it seems that the project is not finished. For now, communes have only generic logos.
