 el obelisco by solcitom87
el obelisco was built in May 1936 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first founding of the city. It is located in the center of the Plaza de la República (Republic Square), the spot where the Argentine flag was flown for the first time in Buenos Aires, at the intersection of Nueve de Julio and Corrientes avenues
The obelisk is one of the main icons of the city, and a venue for various cultural activities.
It is the traditional gathering spot for sports fans to celebrate when their favourite team wins, especially from the national football team, often resulting in colorful events that attract media coverage. Address: Av. Corrientes y 9 de JulioDirections: metro stations: Carlos Pellegrini ( B line), 9 de julio (D line), Diagonal Norte (C line)

Not as impressive as the Washington monument, but similar and made of concrete instead of granite, it was built in 1936 to mark the first place that the Argentine flag was raised.
Because it is made of concrete some definate signs of wear and tear are apparent. Especially in areas where they tried to patch it up with a newer layer of concrete, which is very apparent since the texture and the color do not match when you are up close.
