The Planetario Galileu Galilei (Galileu Galilei Planetary) of Buenos Aires is located at the Parque Tres de Febrero, more known as Bosques de Palermo.
The construction of its Futurist architecture started in 1962 and was directed by the Argentinean architect Enrique Jan. Its shape represents the planet Saturn silhouette, besides it also reminds a big UFO with the mission of taking away all its visitors to discovery journeys into space. Click here to continue reading…

Giuseppe Garibaldi Monument
Plaza Italia is a small square on Palermo district, next to the Jardín Zoológico, Jardín Botánico, Subte, Sociedad Rural Argentina, bus stops and Parques de Palermo.

We could only visit it on the second time we came to the city, when we went for a walk to see it. We found out that the “pretty little house”, or Club de Pescadores (Fishermen’s Club) is a National Historic Monument. Click here to continue reading…
