Various pics around B.A..

 

Top Left: Iglesia Ortodoxa Rusa. One wouldn't expect to find a large Russian Orthodox Congregation in Buenos Aires, but this one - designed in St. Petersburg by Alejandro Christopherson - has been here since 1904.

Top Right and Right: Polermo, a ritzy neighborhood with parks, museums and wealthy residences. The parks in Polermo attract the entire city in hot summer weekends.

Bottom Left: Parque Lazama

Bottom Right: Retiro - Once the site of a monastery, the Retiro neighborhood is now a swank neighborhood with high end shopping.

 

Plaza San Martin. Once a slave market, this quiet park located in the Retiro neighborhood has also been a military fort and bullring.
