A Block of Wonderful Architecture & ♦️ Hive Birthday #03

DSC_0516_2 (1).jpg

One of the wonderful things about the city of Buenos Aires is that we can enjoy different scenarios in relation to infrastructure, buildings and architecture. Depending on the area where we go we can find a fairly modern city with luxurious business buildings, I'm talking about neighborhoods like Puerto Madero or some areas of the Retiro neighborhood.

But if we visit the Monserrat neighborhood we can find another Buenos Aires, the city that was attacked in the old city with emblematic classic buildings of different styles of architecture.

A block full of buildings with beautiful balconies that stand out and stand out, many domes to appreciate and it is in a way like traveling to the past. Most of these have been built for more than a century and some are national historical heritage.

Without any order or intention to mention one by one, I show you some shots of these iconic buildings.

By the way, there are two buildings that belong to the same architect, they are twin buildings, only one is here in Buenos Aires and the other is in Uruguay. This is the Barolo palace, just yesterday I shared a black and white article about it.

👇🏻 This is the top of the building.

At the time I was walking on this block and shooting towards these concrete giants, I came across a building not so old nor with classical architecture, It looked more like a residential building and here is a sample of the "evolution"... Flat buildings (I hate them 😅)

It doesn't make any sense to me to see how all that architectural art has been lost when new buildings are being built.

This is another building that fascinates, a wonder in the sight of passers-by. Hotel Chile, like many others, has a French Art Nouveau style, I can imagine that due to the architecture, the city of Buenos Aires is considered by many tourists to be the Paris of South America and... it makes a lot of sense.

In addition to all this, an interesting fact is that most of these works have suffered a lot of damage and have deteriorated over time, Even this Hotel Chile was a victim of fires but they have still done everything possible to restore and preserve them. On the other hand, there are also many other buildings that have been flattened, their exuberant domes have been removed and others have been directly demolished.

Here we have a view of a section of this block, Mayo Avenue, near the Saenz Peña subway station, line A.

and here we have the other side of the avenue.

We see three major buildings in the city: the Barolo palace, the real estate building and in the background we have the neoclassical building of the national congress.

A more detailed and close-up photo of the De La Inmobiliaria building and its striking dome. It was formerly the Heinlein Palace.

Before I mentioned that I would not describe these buildings one by one but I am doing the opposite 😂

A few minutes ago today while I was writing this article for you, I received a notification, so I paused and went in to see what it was about. Well, I had no idea how quickly time flies and that today is exactly my 3rd Hive Anniversary. I am very happy to have invested all this time here sharing everything that I consider interesting, especially in the photographic field.

At the same time, I am very grateful to all the people I have met, wonderful artists who have also contributed to my training and who have been directly or indirectly part of my improvement on the blockchain.

I am happy to be part, I want to toast for many more years. Thank you all ❤️♦️

Thanks for the support @wilfredocav friend!

Those are so many beautiful buildings there my friend. I wonder how long it takes to build it, does it longer than the average industrial building now?

Happy Hive Birthday man. so awesome.

It depends on the magnitude of each building, style and details and the budget, obviously 😅 A few decades I think.
