          Is the administrative
          palace of the country

         Location immediately

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.
Second place: 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.
                                                             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.
Our next visit was to La Casa Rosada
We toured around the rooms and hallways of the magnificent Pink House.


   At the time officials do not work, the Casa Rosada is open to public tours.
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.
Fourth visit: Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral


The Buenos Aires Cathedral is one of the most enduring and beautiful buildings of the capital.




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 next and most beautiful place in Buenos Aires:
              Colombus Theatre
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.




It is in the heart of the city. The
  auditorium has 2,487 seats.




 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

  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.


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.
Finishing the day
   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.
