Edificio Argentino, Buenos Aires

Edificio Argentino, Buenos Aires

Edificio Argentino, Buenos AiresOn Lavalle, a block off glitzy Avenida Corrientes, you'll find Edificio Argentino. Its name spelt out on the corner of the building under a stylish clock. The round tower is topped with a stepped dome culminating in a simple flagpole. Lions heads sit at the quarter points under the lip of the dome.

A number of other reliefs punctuate the decorative band below the second storey.

  1. I would not have noticed the clock if you hadn't pointed it out! Nice one.

    1. Thanks Emm. It is quite small in comparison to the rest of the building.
