Hello Hive friends! I have been constantly sharing about churches, cathedrals and banks but this time I will talk about something different. The Galerias Pacifico building is a shopping mall, very famous for how immensely big it is, covering almost an entire block that borders Florida, Viamonte, San Martin and Cordoba avenues.
A shopping building in which it is common for upper middle and upper class people to visit with a large number of stores and which I had not planned to do a post about, but I came across the building when I was passing by and I thought it would be interesting to share content about this building and what it meant over the years.
Hola amigos de Hive! He estado constantemente compartiendo sobre iglesias, catedrales y bancos pero en esta oportunidad hablaré de algo diferente. El edificio de las galerías pacífico es un centro comercial, muy famoso por lo inmensamente grande que es, abarcando casi toda una manzana que limita con las calles Florida, Viamonte, San Martin y avenida Córdoba.
Un edificio de compras en el cual es habitual las visitas de personas de clase media alta y alta con una gran cantidad de tiendas y del que no tenía pensado hacer un post, pero me topé con el edificio cuando iba de paso y me pareció interesante compartir contenido sobre este edificio y sobre lo que significó a través de los años.
The building was built in the XIX century by the architect Roland Le Vacher and for many years has had multiple uses ranging from the headquarters of the museum of fine arts, worked the offices of the Buenos Aires railroad, hotels, cultural centers, education centers and finally became a shopping center.
The building has a neo-Renaissance style architecture that was directed by the engineer Emilio Agrelo. It has an area of 52,000 square meters and has 3 floors. The style of this building was strongly influenced by the great and famous European galleries.
El edificio fue construido en el siglo XIX de la mano del arquitecto Roland Le Vacher y durante muchísimos años ha pasado a tener múltiples usos que van desde la sede del museo de bellas artes, funcionó las oficinas del ferrocarril de Buenos Aires, hoteles, centros culturales, centros de educación hasta finalmente convertirse en un centro de compras.
El edificio tiene un estilo de arquitectura neorrenacentista que fue dirigido en cuanto a la construcción por el ingeniero Emilio Agrelo, cuenta con una superficie de 52.000 metros cuadrados y posee 3 plantas. El estilo de este edificio fue fuertemente influenciado por las grandes y famosas galerías europeas.
The interior of the building is something extraordinary in relation to all the luxurious details that are there, its walls, ceilings and all the ornaments that can be seen, suggests that it is a shopping center that is mostly frequented by people of very high social and economic class.
I do not frequent this kind of places, not because of economic classes or purchasing power but because I consider that there are more important places to which to dedicate time, in that sense I prefer to go to a natural space than to a place like this because for me it does not mean much but for other people it does.
El interior del edificio es algo extraordinario en relación a todos los detalles de lujo que allí se encuentran, sus paredes, sus techos y todos los adornos que se pueden observar, da a entender que es un centro comercial que mayormente es frecuentado por personas de clase social y económica muy alta.
No soy de frecuentar este tipo de lugares, no por clases económicas o posibilidades adquisitivas de compras sino porque considero que hay lugares más importantes a la cual dedicarle tiempo, en ese sentido prefiero ir a un espacio natural que a un sitio como éste pues para mí no significa mucho aunque para otras personas sí.
Inside each place there is a story to tell, between each wall or wall is anchored experiences and is that there is a rather curious story with this building... According to sources during the government of the 1970s and 1980s, this place was used as a clandestine center for torture, detention and extermination, which strictly fulfilled its function.
One of the stories in relation to the aforementioned comes from a victim who was a photographer and while working in its basements he relived the events he went through during the 1970s.
Dentro de cada lugar hay una historia que contar, entre cada pared o muro se encuentra anclado vivencias y es que hay un relato bastante curioso con este edificio... Según fuentes durante el gobierno de los años 1970 y 1980 usaban este lugar como un centro clandestino de torturas, detención y exterminios el cual cumplía con su función estrictamente.
Uno de los relatos en relación a lo anteriormente dicho viene de una misma víctima quien fue fotógrafo y al realizar un trabajo en sus sótanos revivió tales sucesos por los cuales pasó durante la década de los años 70.
One of the things I love about this community is that in my case it has led me to address concepts of architecture that I did not know, thus causing an immediate learning of various topics because for me it is essential to know about everything around me, however they say that he lives happier who knows less.... Even so, I take the risk😊.
I hope you have an excellent day and a good start of the week.
Una de las cosas que me encantan de ésta comunidad es que en mi caso me ha llevado a abordar conceptos de arquitectura que desconocía, ocasionando así un aprendizaje inmediato de diversos temas ya que para mí es indispensable conocer sobre todo lo que me rodea, sin embargo dicen que vive más feliz el que menos sabe... Aún así, me arriesgo😊
Espero que tengan un excelente día y un buen comienzo de semana.

Concuerdo contigo, los espacios naturales acaparan más mi atención... 😁 Pero debo decirte que el techo de este lugar es simplemente espectacular... Me dejó embelesada! 🤩

Thank you very much friend! The whole entire building is impressive but yes the roof is stunning ❣️.
This is the first time that I have had a glimpse of a mall in your country and what I love about it is that its structure is very classic.
This is the first mall of which I talk about, I don't usually visit these places much 😄 it's very interesting what this building has gone through over the years and it's also interesting what happened inside there more than 40 years ago.
