What travellers are saying
- Skeney57Sydney, Australia25,133 contributionsJust next door to the Recoleta Cemetery this Church grabbed our attention as it stands out in bright white and has a high tower which catches the eye. Pretty impressive interior and some different styles of side altars. Worth a quick detour whilst in the area.Written 11 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dan LBunbury, Australia9,017 contributionsIt is the largest Mosque in Latin America and resulted from President Carlos Menem's 1995 grant of 34,000 m² of municipal land in the Palermo section of Buenos Aires to the Mosque, following a state visit to Saudi Arabia.
Inaugurated in 2000, the Mosque and cultural center was designed by Saudi architect Zuhair Fayez, and includes prayer halls with capacities for 1,200 men and 400 women, respectively. The cultural center hosts a primary and secondary school, as well as a divinities school and a dormitory.Written 27 April 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The inside is also pretty.Written 28 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tassaduq HussainMultan, Pakistan3,367 contributionsRussian Orthodox Church (Iglesia Apostolica Ortodoxa Rusa) is located in San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentine, just in front of Lezama Park. It is also known as Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity. It was built between 1898 and 1901. It has an interesting building inside and outside.Written 30 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bernard WDallas, TX1,946 contributionsPassport is required and security is serious. Ring the bell at the entrance doors. The Museum is very worthwhile providing a picture of the Ashkenazi and Sephardic Argentine Jewish Community, as well as about different Jewish holidays. Visitors can also enter the beautiful 1897 Templo Libertad synagogue.
We had the delightful experience of a free Wednesday 1-2 pm concert at Templo Libertad in the sanctuary. No reservation necessary. Each week is a different free program. This week featured 9 saxophones of different sizes, a clarinet, and percussionist from an area Music School. What a treat!Written 7 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephen TBuenos Aires, Argentina70 contributionsThe early autumn sun rises early with flashes of light from the windows of passing taxis that are ubiquitous here in Buenos Aires. Our destination is the banking district in the micro centre of the city.
'Micro centre' is somewhat of a misnomer, as the area stretches eight blocks each way, and contains the heart of commerce, banking and shopping for Buenos Aires. In daylight hours, it is busy, and during working hours thronged with bankers, office employees, messengers, traders, tourists and just about everyone that makes a city work.
Calle Reconquista is a principal banking street - part pedestrianised to allow only the security trucks which carry cash and bullion to the Bank of Argentina. Reconquista has not always been the centre of Latin American civilisation. This was the place where in 1806, the Spanish immigrants of Buenos Aires gathered to swear allegiance to their cause - the removal by force of their recent British overlords. After 46 days of occupation, William Carr Beresford was forced to surrender to the Spanish general, Santiago de Liniers, and the Rio de la Plata was returned to Spanish control.
Arrive in the sun-drenched calle to hear the convent bell of toll to call the monks of this last surviving order to prayer. The steps up to Convento San Ramon Nonato lead to a wide, dark corridor; but ahead is a fierce splash of light as we exit into the cloisters that surround the convent garden. Like none other in Buenos Aires, here is an enclosed place, festooned with the richest diversity of trees and flowering shrubs, and surrounded by tables set for lunch with white cloths and glinting glasses. The waiters bob from kitchen to customer, ensuring that the menu executivo is available for all of the diners.
We join the bankers and lawyers to order steak, served with chips and salad, preceded by mozzarella in a light tomato and tabasco sauce, and followed by coffee or flan. It is accompanied by a glass of Malbec within the reasonable set price.
As we chat, birds fly from tree to flower under the canopy of palms. Around us sit business people, bankers and lawyers, ours being the only English voices. Elsewhere under the cloisters peep small antique shops and the indoor eating areas.
The convent's principal bell tolls - perhaps the end of mid-day prayer, and we rise from the square. For those seeking quiet moments in the sea of humanity that is Buenos Aires, here is your oasis.Written 2 May 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The other oddity was that the Church was closed more often than open in the 3 days we stayed across the road? We got in for a quick look on Good Friday and it was pretty impressive inside with multiple side chapels and many frescoes. Well worth checking out when open to the public.Written 8 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MauLan3 contributionsWe stayed in the area and approached this church on recommendation. The building is very nice and was built with materials from Europe.Written 11 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
