Review:
The Manzana de las Luces, more popularly known as the Illuminated Block or Block of the Lights, is a historic landmark found in Buenos Aires. The National Historic Monument has been extensively renovated and restored since it was first established by the Society of Jesus in 1608. Presently, visitors will be able to explore the complex and see many of the structures that remain such as the large arcaded patio, a cloister residence, and a colonial-era administrative building. One of the most beautiful remnants of the Illuminated Block is the Church of San Ignacio connected by the complex underground tunnel network.
