As part of the historic quarter of Buenos Aires,
Montserrat is defined by the historical events that
took place there and the landmarks that have stood the
test of time. The Plaza de Mayo is at the center of
this connection to history: countless public

takes us back to the late 16th century, while the
Palacio Barolo and the traditional cafés carry us to
the early 20th. Nowadays, the neighbourhood is
inundated every day by office workers, buses, and
taxis; still, the cobblestones, narrow sidewalks, and
subway stations from the 1910s remind us that we are
surrounded by history everywhere we look.
