Located in the Plaza de la Republica, the Obelisk is the garthering point for Buenos Aires when it comes to celebration. You really can't avoid it when visiting Buenos Aires. It apparently was built in the style of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC, USA. It was built in just 31 days in the year 1936, and supposedly was the first place that the Argentina flag was raised. Around the Obelisk there are crests of the districts of Argentina. There is an inscription on the base as well as some explanations in Spanish. Leave a Comment
