La Calle de los Suspiros

A street with Portuguese buildings where the color pink and yellow predominates, alternate with sober Spanish houses. The beauty of this street and its surroundings arouses romanticism, not so the different versions about its name.

Built on the ruins of the San Francisco Xavier Convent in the mid-19th century, its flashes at night will warn mariners approaching the Colony. Those who climb it will have a view of the Plaza Mayor with period buildings transformed into museums.

Basilica De Santisimo Sacramento

In the so-called Plaza de Armas, since 1810 is the most important Catholic temple in the city, the Spanish architect Toribio gives it its current appearance, but the stones at its entrance announce that the construction was originally Portuguese. Formerly, the Blessed Sacrament was found on its facade, which today stands out on the main altar.

• Admission Ticket Free

Plaza de toros Real de San Carlos

Beautiful resorts lie on the Río de la Plata, with Real de San Carlos being the pioneer in the area. To get to it we will walk the wide promenade and discover the history of the visionary Nicolás Mihanovich, who created a magnificent bullring; an elegant hotel with casino; a Basque pelota court, a racecourse and a small train station.
