Plaza de Mayo

The main square and oldest square in Buenos Aires is called Plaza de Mayo and it was named after the Argentine revolution which started in May 1810. The square houses the Casa Rosada which is the government palace, the Cathedral and other important buildings.
This area also hosts protests and is the site where the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo still meet every Thursday. Since 1977, these women meet to demand information about the hundreds of children who disappeared during the last military dictatorship in the country.
We also visited the Cathedral where the Pope used to speak, and where St. Martin's tomb rests. It's a beautiful church and it's mosaic floors represent Argentina with its passion flowers surrounding the Crown of Thorns are also amazing.Läs mer
