BELGRANO

This is a residential area in Buenos Aires. In Belgrano you will be amazed by late XIX-century high class residences which settled here and define particular featured areas which fuse in the neighborhood. Among them, the Paseo de las Barrancas (Barrancas Promenade) is surrounded by tower buildings and keeps historical elements, such as its gates and a bandstand where concerts and shows are usually performed. Nearby, you can find the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción (Immaculate Conception Church) -better known as La Redonda (The Round)- because of its unmistakable round dome. To the West, Belgrano R neighborhood is full of imposing mansions of a true European style.
