According to British newspaper The Guardian, El Ateneo Grand Splendid is the second best bookstore in the world.
It preserves the splendour and elegance of the former Gran Splendid theatre/cinema, which was designed by architects Peró and Torres Armengol.
Located in the Recoleta neighbourhood, El Grand Spendid theatre opened in 1919 and immediately became a beacon of porteño culture, hosting ballet, opera, and the first "talkies" shown in Buenos Aires. The national Odeon record label - now owned by EMI - was based here, and singers such as Carlos Gardel recorded on the premises.
The venue even gave birth to its own radio station, LR4 Radio Splendid, which began transmitting from the build

The museum has its origins in a marriage in 1897 between two prominent members of turn-of-the-century Argentine high society: Matías Errazúriz, the son of Chilean émigrés, and Josefina de Alvear, the granddaughter of Independence-era leader Carlos María de Alvear.
The couple commissioned French architect René Sergent in 1911 to design a mansion for Errazúriz's future retirement from the diplomatic corps, in which he had been Ambassador to France for a number of years. The ornate Neoclassical structure inspired the Bosch family to commission a similar palace nearby (today the United States Ambassador's residence). Completed in 1916, the couple devoted the following two years to decorating th

The Water Company Palace

Occupying an entire city block, the Palacio de Aguas Corrientes (Palace of Running Water) was built in the second half of the 19th century to supply the city's water. Following the city's rapid expansion and several epidemics, including cholera and thyfoid, it was decided to introduce a modern running water system, following designs put forward by British engineer John Bateman. The construction of the 'palace' was overseen by Swiss engineer Carlos Nyströmer and Norweigian architect Olof Boye, between 1887 and 1894. It features French-style mansard rooves, and a facade that consists of 170,000 glazed tiles and 130,000 enameled bricks, all sh
