Museo Larreta

Beautiful gardens and baroque rooms with 16th and 17th-century religious paintings and gilded wood carvings. Check the website for the guided tour of the gardens (twice a month), which provides sensible insights about the palace history and design. Great variety of Spanish glazed tiles everywhere.

Absolutely gorgeous garden that should not be missed. We had a wonderful reading event today and the people were so helpful. Museo Larreta is a gem of a museum, the perfect place for a respite from the city. Save your receipt and use it for a discount at the cafe next door.

Wonderful museum of Spanish art, perhaps the best collection in South America. Artwork titles are in English, but not descriptions. Expansive and luscious gardens. Foreigners pay 5x the normal price. Free entry for all on Wednesdays.

This is a beautiful museum. The art collection, the building, and the gardens are magnificent. You can also visit the church of the Immaculate Conception across the street.

Our favourite of the three small museums we visited in the area one afternoon. This former residence is elegant and has a royal, palatial feel. The religious artefacts are incredible, and the garden is a wonderful sanctuary from the busy streets outside. The whole experience of visiting the wonderfully presented and preserved museum was like stepping into another world. Highly recommended and free entry on Wednesdays.

Beautiful museum and garden to explore. The property is beautifully maintained. There is a cafe next door. Definitely worth visiting.

Small museum that was was the home of Argentinan writer Enrique Larreta. He was a huge proponent of Spanish art and literature. There is a nice collection as well as seeing a beautiful home and garden. The cost is currently $2,000 ARS for foreigners ($500 ARS for locals).
