This is Buenos Aires‘s major square, in the heart of the city, founded in 1884, replacing the Recova building. We passed by here a few times because all the roads lead to it -:). Compare to Tiananmen Square in Beijing, this seems a sesame. But there are many notable monuments and structures around the square:
- the Metropolitan Cathedral
- the Casa Rosada wiki (seat of the President),
- the Pirámide de Mayo (May Pyramid) wiki
- the Cabildo – wiki; pic
- the City Hall
- the headquarters of Bank of the Argentine Nation wiki
…The most notable one is their Ministry of Economy / Ministerio de Economía @ Hipólito Yrigoyen 250 / building Palacio de Hacienda modern BA, which is at a corner. I didn’t do any research on it, so don’t know if it’s the office for the country’s current Ministry of Economy … can’t imagine the minister goes to work there every day, it’s like a slum 贫民窟!
