Architecture in Buenos Aires

Architecture in Buenos Aires

One of the first things you will notice when walking around Buenos Aires is its eclectic architecture. Spanish, French, and Italian influences are clearly visible. This variety makes Buenos Aires a must-visit for anyone who loves architecture. Buenos Aires is home to many different styles, but today we'll talk about Colonial, Neoclassical, and Art Nouveau. While Buenos Aires is now a modern bustling city, it retains its cultural links to its Spanish colonial past in its buildings. One of the most notable examples of this style is the Cabildo. The Cabildo was originally the site of Spain's administration of the city. After independence, it became the government building for the city. Other examples include the Manzana de las luces and the Basílica Nuestra Señora del Pilar. Across from the Cabildo, you'll see perhaps the most iconic Neoclassical building of Argentina - the Casa Rosada, or Pink House. Emulating Greek and Roman architecture, Argentina wanted to show its wealth and Enlightenment-based ideals to the world. Other examples include the National Congress building, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and in the Avenida Alvear region of Recoleta. Another notable example is the Teatro Colón, or Colón Theatre. People around the world appreciate this theater for its beauty and acoustics. You can find more beautiful buildings in the Balvanera neighborhood, which has examples of the Art Nouveau style. For example, you'll find the Casa de los Lirios, inspired by Gaudi, in Balvanera. Another fascinating building is the Palacio Barolo. Curiously, its architect Palanti constructed it with inspiration from Dante's Divine Comedy. If you've read the Divine Comedy and love architecture, seeing Palacio Barolo is a must. Also, it's one of the tallest buildings in the city with a great view! Get to know Buenos Aires by checking out our experiences! Hope to see you in Buenos Aires!

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
