In 1822, the church disbanded and the cemetery that surrounded it was converted into the cities first public cemetery. Today, the cemetery is home to over 4,500 above ground tombs of which 94 are declared historical landmarks. Here, Argentina’s wealthiest are laid to rest in a family mausoleum after their passing. Many of these tombs are in impeccable shape and constructed in such a way that allows onlookers to peer in. Inside, it is common to find offerings such as pictures and flowers laid out on an alter at the base of a cross or crucifix. Looking around, one may also see the coffins of those who are buried there. Many of these tombs appear to have a lower levels that is inaccessible to visitors. The outside of these tombs are primarily decorated with depictions of beings from Christian theology such angels or busts of the people laid to rest there. Some even contain stain glass windows inspired by common theological images such as of Jesus or his mother Mary. All of their windows are decorated so that they may be admired from the inside rather than the out, as if these still images are watching over the dead and protecting them as they rest. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The National Council of Education creates a curriculum, and all the schools in the country follow by it. Kindergarten is optional for children, but at age six children have to start attending school. Unlike schools in the United States, schooling ends at the age of fourteen unless you go to a secondary schooling. If you want to go to college, you have to attend a secondary schooling for five years and take the bachillerato exam. Public school is free, but there are no public school buses, and students must buy their books and uniforms. The uniforms are white lab coats and are worn over regular clothing. Private schools like the one pictured are sponsored by churches or other organizations and pay expenses through tuition. They also wear uniforms but theirs consist of plaid skirts for the girls, and white polo and navy pants for the boys. Students start their day at 8 am and end at noon, whereas others start at 1 pm and end at 5 pm. �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Like many other fairs in Buenos Aires, it is an open market filled with exotic and artisanal products, and occurs every Sunday. In some cases, the Feria de Mataderos has had over 700 stands selling these goods, with around 15,000 people (locals and tourists alike) experiencing the fair. At the fair you can expect to see mate, clothing, jewlrey, musical instruments, art, and handmade goods. Along with the crafts, the Feria also has a good selection of food, with stands offering empanadas, choripan, locro, and more. While you eat, you’ll likely be able to see a cultural show, such as regional music and dance or displays of gaucho (or cowboy) related abilities. What separates the Feria de Mataderos from the other fairs you might come across is the authenticity. Only a small percentage of tourists make their way to the fair, making it a mostly unaltered experience of the culture. This also affects the entire atmosphere, as the locals are frequently as excited to be there as the tourists. This energy and authenticity is what makes the fair such a great destination. Whether you’re interested in shopping, eating, or just absorbing the culture, the Feria de Mataderos is a great event to attend. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Originally the site of past Argentina president Juan Manuel de Rosas’ country home, the garden has been a public landmark since his defeat in battle on February 3rd, 1852. The significance of this date was cemented into the park through its name, Parc 3 de Febrero. Created in 1912, the garden was designed by Charles (Carlos) Thays and his student Benito Carrasco. Their design features an amphitheater, an Andalusian terrace, and a special garden dedicated to legendary writers and poets, including stone busts of 26 great literary figures. The primary attraction, however, is the collection of over 18,000 roses covering acres of land. With over 1,000 different species of roses on display, the garden is truly a sight to behold. If those features weren’t enough, bordering the floral canvas that is the Rosedal, is a beautiful lake that surrounds the majority of the garden, making the view from the outside as magical as the ones found within. While the garden is a paradise at any time of the year, visiting in July might earn you free flowers and cuttings, as the garden is pruned during this month. The garden is an oasis of green in the bustling Palermo neighborhood, and is a must-see attraction for all. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Originally designed to be a tango theatre in 1919, the building is remarkable for its painted ceilings, sculpted columns, and embellished architecture. During the building’s time as a theater, it was known as the Teatro Gran Splendid and hosted some of the most prominent names in Tango history, like Carlos Gardel and Robert Firpo. The theatre would come to serve as a tango recording studio as well, before being converted into a film cinema in the twenties. The first movies with sound shown in all of Argentina were shown in the Gran Splendid in 1929. Over 70 years later, Grupo Ilhsa, owner of Yenny libraries, the Ateneo chain, and more, leased the building in 2000. The building was once again converted to fit a new purpose- this time becoming the flagship store of the chain. Under architectural supervision, the cinematic seating was replaced with shelving and reading nooks, and a modern café was built on the stage. While modern features have been added, the original style and beauty remain, leading to a one-of-the-kind shopping experience. Whether you’re interested in looking through the thousands of books the store stocks, sipping a cappuccino at the café, or simply walking through the historical building, the Ateneo Grand Splendid is a top-pick when touring Buenos Aires. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This change came after the city decided that the invasive fauna and animal species the zoo housed were detrimental to the country’s ecosystem especially when many of the countries own species were becoming endangered. In an attempt to stop this growing epidemic and better educate both locals and tourists alike on the unique environment of the country, it was decided that the new Eco Parque would only exhibit animals and fauna that are native to Argentina. It was also decided that the park would not be a prison for animals captured in the wild but would rather serve as a sanctuary to those who were either poached or wounded and could not return to the wild on their own. As it stands now, the park is divided into two sections. These sections are known as the grasslands and river-lands respectively and showcase the different biomes scattered around the country by exhibiting flora and fauna native to that biome. As construction continues, the park hopes to add more sections and animal species. Currently, the park is working on moving out the none native species from the former zoo such as the lions and tigers but in time, the park with showcase the extraordinary environment of the country itself with no remnants of its history as a simple zoo. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/34/996/Ecoparque1.jpg 6aff349d22d03069833e821a2f747450 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Here, 270 exhibitors set up shop each Sunday to sell wonderful antiquities to the people of Argentina and travelers to the city. The fair may be hard to navigate at first glance as it is usually host to 10’s of thousands of people each week, making it one of the city’s largest and most popular street fairs. To help aid shoppers in finding what interests them most, the fair categorizes itself in different ways depending on what is being sold in that area. For instance, the fairs “Feria de las Artes” identifies a section of vendors who are solely dedicated to selling works of art that showcase the unique artistic flair of Buenos Aires. Likewise, the fairs “Walk of Native People” section showcases vendors who sell crafted goods that originated in Argentina such a jewelry, bags, and hand stitched sweaters. Outside of these sections, vendors are given free range to sell any items from antiques to crafted goods to start up ideas developed by small businesses. Even the surrounding shops participate in the festivities by opening their doors and bringing products outside to sell. The fair, however, is not simply about blindly selling goods to a consumer. Instead, it shows the culture of Argentina not only through the goods being sold but through festivities such as tango, singing, food, and other public displays. Whether you are looking to explore more of the Argentinian culture or simply looking for a souvenir to bring home, Fería de San Telmo is a must stop destination on your next trip to Buenos Aries. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
