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.

The area continued divided between these two plazas until 1883 and with only minor changes in
landscaping, chief among them the 1811 addition of the May Pyramid, a monument put up to
commemorate the newly independent "Provinces of the Rio de la Plata". That year, however,
Mayor Torcuato de Alvear ordered the space modernized, resulting in the demolition of the
colonnade and the creation of the modern Plaza de Mayo.

3. We toured around the rooms and hallways of the magnificent Pink House. At the time
officials do not work, the Casa Rosada (the “Government House”) is open to public
tours. The Grenadiers do not guard the entrance any longer; they work as tourist
guides instead.
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, since the foundation of the city of
Buenos Aires, the top political institutions of
Argentina resided. The current Italian-style
building, however, dates back only to 1873.
Its balcony, which faces this large square, has
served as a podium by many figures,
including Eva Perón and Juan Domingo Perón,
who rallied the "descamisados" there.
The building is painted a light pink colour (and a darker pink colour on the side facing the plaza,
after a recent repainting). It is currently going through an extensive renovation, including
repainting. Dubbed "Casa Rosada" by President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, it is said that he
chose this colour scheme in order to defuse political tension by fusing the red and white colours
of the country's opposing political parties.

1857. Towards the end of the
century it became clear that a

after a 20-year process, the

It is in the heart of the city on a site once occupied by Ferrocarril Oeste's Plaza Parque station. 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.

6. is one of the main tourist attractions in the
neighborhood. It was designed by the French
architect, Prosper Catelin, at the request of
President Bernardino Rivadavia, and was dedicated
in 1822.
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.
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.

7. By the time the day was coming to his end, we were going to have a
rest. First, we went to the hotel and relaxed a moment.
Then we had dinner and
the last activity of the day
was bowling.
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.
