Description

We will discover the magnificent temples of various religious congregations that accompanied the origins of the historical center of Buenos Aires. We begin at the Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy, home to the Mercedarian congregation. Next, we visit the Buenos Aires Cathedral, the center of the city's archdiocese, where the tomb of General San Martín is located. We continue to the Church of Saint Ignatius, which belongs to the Jesuit congregation and is connected to Pope Francis. Our journey then takes us to the Basilica of Saint Francis, associated with the Franciscan order. We conclude at the Santo Domingo Convent, belonging to the Dominican congregation, where the remains of Manuel Belgrano are housed. Each site has its own beauty, attraction, intrigues, and secrets. We will explore how these temples influenced the formation of the city during the times of emancipation, in defending against invasions, and the treasures they hold.
