THE F IRST PLACE WHERE WE WERE WAS THE CONGRESS
Second day in Buenos Aires
Is the administrative palace of the country
National congress building is located at the western end of the Avenida de Mayo. On the opposing end of the
street, you can find the country's other administrative palace, the presidential
palace Casa Rosada.
Location immediately
surrounding the palace contains
many of the city's most significant works of art and
monuments.
Second place: Plaza De Mayo
A long time ago Mayor Torcuato de Alvear ordered the space modernized,
resulting in the demolition of the
colonnade and the creation of the
modern Plaza de Mayo.
It’s the main square in Buenos Aires. Since being the scene of the 25 May 1810 revolution, it has been a hub of political life in Argentina.
Following over a century of overuse
and neglect, the local colonial government attempted to give a
semblance of order to the plaza by having a
colonnade built across it from north
to south.
Our next visit was to La Casa RosadaWe toured around the rooms and hallways of the magnificent Pink House.
La Casa Rosada is the official seat of the executive branch of the government of Argentina.The Casa Rosada was built in the location which the top political institutions of Argentina
resided. The current Italian-style building, however, dates back only to 1873.
It’s balcony has served as a podium
by many figures including Eva Perón and Juan Domingo
Perón.
At the time officials do not work, the Casa Rosada is open to public tours.
Fourth visit: Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral
The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral is an iconic and historically important structure in the center of the capital city. The church is located in the central part of the city near Plaza de
Mayo.Besides being the central Catholic Church in Buenos Aires, it is also the burial place of
General de San Martin.
The Buenos Aires Cathedral is one of the most enduring and beautiful buildings of the capital.
The next and most beautiful place in Buenos Aires: Colombus Theatre
It is in the heart of the city. The auditorium has 2,487 seats.
Is the main opera house in Buenos Aires, Argentina, acoustically considered to be
amongst the five best concert venues in the world.
The present Colón replaced an original theatre which opened in
1857.
The Colon's acoustics are considered to be so good as to place it in the top five performance venues in the world. Luciano Pavarotti held a similar opinion.
The day keep on with The Recoleta Cemetery
The mortal remains of many figures in Argentine history can be found here: Juan Bautista Alberdi,
Manuel Dorrego, Bartolomé Mitre, Juan Manuel de Rosas, Cornelio Saavedra, Guillermo Brown, and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. Perhaps the most
popular among them is the tomb of Eva Perón whose grave is visited daily by large numbers of tourists
and admirers of Peronism.
Is one of the main tourist attractions in the neighborhood. It was designed by the French architect Prosper Catelin.
The cemetery is located next to the former monastery of the Recollect
Fathers. It is an outstanding display of nineteenth- and twentieth-century
funerary art and architecture, with private family crypts of the
bourgeoisie and mausolea of the landowning classes.
Finishing the dayBy the time the day was coming to his end, we were going to have a rest.
It wasn’t as excited as we expected, but it was amused after all. We
couldn’t wait to arrive to the hotel, we were really tired! so, as you might
imagine, we slept really well.
Then we had dinner and the last activity of the day was
bowling.
First, we went to the hotel and relaxed a moment.
