Review:
Plaza de Mayo is the main square in the Monserrat barrio, a neighborhood famed for its historic public buildings and sites in all of Argentina. Created in 1580, Plaza de Mayo is the site of the May Revolution, which resulted in Viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros being deposed and the Primera Junta assuming government. It has since then become a hub for Argentina’s political life. The plaza attracts tourists from all over the country as it lies amidst many of the city’s major landmarks such as the Cabildo, which was the city council during the colonial era, and the May Pyramid, the oldest national monument in Buenos Aires.
Av. Hipolito Yrigoyen s/n, 1087 CABA, Argentina
