The second day in Buenos Aires

In the second day we visited…

of Deputies and Senators of the nation. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Plaza of May

It was born from the union of the squares of the Victory and of the Fort, on demolishing a construction called Old Poultry market that was separating them

The Cathedral

It is the principal catholic temple of Argentina. The current church was completed between 1752 and 1852, though his decoration concluded in 1911. The building possesses a profile that is not used commonly in the cathedrals, because it does not possess towers and is alike more a Greek classic temple than a catholic typical temple.

The Cemetery of Recoleta

It is a famous cemetery located in the distinguished neighbourhood of Recoleta where there are buried the major number of personalities of the country. The principal entry is the portico formed by four columns of Doric Greek order without base, concluded during one of his big reforms arranged in 1881 by the intendant of the Municipality, Torcuato de Alvear.
