Plaza de Mayo
It is the oldest square in Buenos Aires and the setting for most of the fundamental political events in our history. In fact, it is where Juan de Garay carried out the second founding of the city in 1580. Around this square, the primitive village began to grow. Today, it is surrounded by the Casa Rosada, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Cabildo, among other important buildings.
