Interesting Tale of Architectural Revenge…read more According to urban legend, Corina Kavanagh represented "new money" and fell in love with a wealthy, aristocratic son from the Anchorena family. The Anchorena family had built a private church that they could view from their palace but had planned on building a newer mansion closer to the church. Ultimately, the mother Mercedes Castellanos de Anchorena, who strongly opposed the relationship, managed to end the engagement. Corina Kavanagh, heart-broken, hurt and humiliated, decided to take out her revenge by building a reinforced concrete high-rise that would completely obstruct the view from the Anchorena's palace. Corina had to sell three estancias in Venado Tuerto to finance her project and buy the land next to the church when Mercedes was on vacation. In 14 months, the Kavanagh Building became the tallest reinforced concrete structure in the world and for many years remained the tallest building in Latin America. The 33-floor building was the first in Argentina to boast central air conditioning. The 12 elevators, five staircases, a ground floor shopping center and underground parking made it a very desirable property. Other unique features included a swimming pool, integrated drycleaner service, cold storage for furs and carpets, and a central telephone system. So interesting to be able to visit this landmark architectural feat again and be reminded of this urban legend.

I found the building rather unimpressive for such an important building. It can be compared to the White House of Argentina, but it is much smaller and looks worn down. There is a fence around it, so you cannot get inside without a tour. I tried to book a tour for this, but they only do tours on weekends and they fill up fast. Maybe if you are a history buff and want to look at some offices, you should try to book in advance. But based on all the reviews online, I did not feel like I was missing much.

From Wikopedia: "La Recoleta Cemetery (Spanish: Cementerio…read morede la Recoleta) is a cemetery located in the Recoleta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It contains the graves of notable people, including Eva Perón, presidents of Argentina, Nobel Prize winners, the founder of the Argentine Navy, and military commanders such as Julio Argentino Roca. In 2011, the BBC hailed it as one of the world's best cemeteries, and in 2013, CNN listed it among the 10 most beautiful cemeteries in the world." My words: I love to visit old cemeteries and this one is a very spectacular. Ever since the show {Evita} opened in the West End of London in 1979, it brought light to both Evita and Buenos Aires to me. I also knew that one day I would be able to visit. That day was now. BA was an amazing place and finally going to the Casa Rosado just paved a path to visiting Evita's family mausoleum. I was not familiar with Recoleta Cemetery nor the amount of people who are interred here. I did watch some you tube movies about visiting here and while it really helped, it did not prepare me for the overall scope of this place. In conclusion... this place is beautiful and the stories that go with many of the sites are just amazing and even haunting. Remember that there is an entry fee and a line which moved very quickly. I truly recommend having a guide to explain the monuments and stories as it adds so much more to the sites. KUDOs to the team and guides at Cementerio de la Recoleta

The primary objective was to find the resting place of Eve Peron (Evita). We arrived about 2 hours after they opened and there was a small queue outside. The queue moved quickly. They have maps at the payment counter. Once inside we were all amazed by the size, design and layout of the cemetery. Initially, we started by wandering through the paths and viewing the designs of the various family mausoleums. Then we focused and found our way over to the Familia Duarte mausoleum, where Eva Peron is said to be. It wasn't difficult to find but there was a queue to venture down the correct path to view it. After that we were nearly ready to depart. We meandered a bit more to visit others as we made our way towards the exit. A reasonable excursion that is worth the visit if such things interest you. I think that 2 hours would be more than enough time. Pay for the guided tour if you really want to know details and history.
