Plaza de Mayo

Plaza de Mayo, named for the May 1810 revolution, stands as the historic and political heart of Buenos Aires. This central square is home to the iconic Casa Rosada, where Eva Peron once addressed the masses from the balcony, and the Metropolitan Cathedral, which was Pope Francis’ former church. At the center of the plaza, the Pirámide de Mayo, an obelisk, rises to commemorate Argentina’s independence. Today, visitors can explore the significant landmarks, observe the vibrant city life, and immerse themselves in the rich history that defines this pivotal location.
