Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral
"Magnificent Domed Neo-Classic Cathedral"
The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral faces the historic city center Plaza de Mayo and is one of the most significant churches in Buenos Aires. This Catholic cathedral was finished in 1862 when the facade and the imposing Corinthian columns of the pronaos at the entrance were completed. A mix of various architectural styles like Neo-Baroque and Neo-Renaissance are evident here. Its renaissance elements include the tiled dome and the architectural floor plan of a Latin cross, comprised of three naves, divided by pilasters and interconnected chapels. The Baroque altar made in the Rococo style is an opulent relic of history. Frescoes and paintings depicting scenes from the Bible are some of the sights which simply cannot be missed. The remains of the Great Liberator General José de San Martín rest in a guarded mausoleum, flanked by three statues representing Liberty, Commerce and Labour along with seals of the nation's neighboring countries of Chile and Peru.
