Inmaculada Concepción Parish
The Inmaculada Concepción parish is a church in the neighborhood of Belgrano, Buenos Aires. Popularly known as "the round church" or "La Redonda," the parish is in front of the Manuel Belgrano Square, across from Larreta museum, and near the Sarmiento museum. History The first parish in the Belgrano neighborhood was located at the corner of La Pampa and 11 de Septiembre. According to legend, it was originally built by the owner of the land, so that his slaves, who were engaged in farm work, would have a place to hear mass. In its early years, the parish was dedicated to San Benito. Many years later the property transferred to José Julián Arriola, who donated the parish to the church and the adjacent lands to the Curia. A brick kiln and a lime kiln built by Arriola were later used by the Franciscan Fathers. The decree of 6 December 1855, which approved the delineation of the village, stated in one article that: "it would also be their duty to provide immediate restoration of t ...

Belgrano, Buenos Aires
Belgrano is a northern and leafy ''barrio'' or neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Location The barrio of Palermo is to the southeast; Núñez is to the northwest; Coghlan, Villa Urquiza, Villa Ortúzar and Colegiales are to the southwest. History Belgrano was named after Manuel Belgrano, a politician and military leader who created the national flag of Argentina. In 1820, at Belgrano's death, Buenos Aires' legislature introduced a law to name the next town to be founded after him. This happened in 1855, when the Buenos Aires government, fearful that relatives of Juan Manuel de Rosas would dispute the governmental decision to expropriate Rosas' lands, laid down a new town on part of it and named it Belgrano. The town was declared a city shortly thereafter, due to its booming growth, and in 1880 it became the nation's capital for a few weeks, because of the dispute between the national government and Buenos Aires province for the status of the city of Buenos Aires. ...

Buildings And Structures In Buenos Aires
A building, or edifice, is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory (although there's also portable buildings). Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the term ''building'' compare the list of nonbuilding structures. Buildings serve several societal needs – primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) and the ''outside'' (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful). Ever since the first cave paintings, buildings have also become objects or canvasses of much artist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
