Art and Culture in Buenos Aires

"An absolute icon of Buenos Aires, Plaza de Mayo is the political and social heart of the city. Plaza de Mayo emcompases not only a downtown park, but also all the key buildings around it such as the Casa Rosada (the seat of the Argentine president), Metropolitan Cathedral, City Hall, and the National Bank of Argentina’s headquarters. This place has been the center of celebration and political demonstrations in both the 20th and 21st centuries. It’s also a place of significance for those who gather weekly seeking justice and remembrance for the people that were subject to forced disappearances during the last and most brutal military dictatorship (1976 to 1982)." - MATADOR_NETWORK
