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.

venues in the world.
The present Colón replaced an original theatre which opened in 1857. Towards the end of the century it became clear that a new
theatre was needed and, after a 20-year process, the present theatre opened on May 25, 1908.
The theatre is bounded by the wide 9 de Julio Avenue, Libertad Street (the main entrance), Arturo Toscanini Street, and Tucumán
Street. It is in the heart of the city on a site once occupied by Ferrocarril Oeste's Plaza Parque station.
The auditorium is horseshoe-shaped, has 2,487 seats (slightly more than the Royal Opera House standing room for 1,000 and a
stage which is 20 m wide, 15 m high and 20 m deep. 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.
