Palermo Rosedal Garden

With its 3.4 hectares, El Rosedal is an emblem of landscape design and offers a privileged image within the City. Its particular charm, the result of the work of one of the great figures of Buenos Aires urbanism, gives it its own identity. Knowing the Rosedal is one of the many good excuses to visit the Park 3 de Febrero.

With a collection of more than 18,000 roses and surrounded by a lake, it occupies a space that belonged to the villa of Juan Manuel de Rosas until he was defeated on February 3, 1852 in the Battle of Caseros. The work was started by the landscaper Carlos Thays - the same one who built the Botanical Garden, the Avellaneda Park and the Lezama Park, among others - and finished in 1914 by his disciple Benito Carrasco.

The lake is crossed by the White Bridge, also known as the Hellenic Bridge or Greek Bridge. This space also has an amphitheater, the Garden of the Poets, with 26 busts that recall famous figures such as Alfonsina Storni, Dante Alighieri, William Shakespeare and Jorge Luis Borges, and the Andalusian Patio, built in 1929 and gifted by the city of Seville to the city of Buenos Aires. In the fountain, located in the center of the patio, you can read the dedication that accompanies the gift: “To the chivalrous and opulent city of Buenos Aires in testimony of spiritual communication, Seville offers this sample of the industry of Triana, the neighborhood of the industrious potters and the intrepid sailors ” . Majolica ornaments decorate the benches, steps and floors of the patio, which is surrounded by specimens of wisteria.
