What people say

Allyssa Leaton
"A significant meeting point in Argentine history for protest and celebration (including the annual LGBTQ+ Pride march in November). The plaza is surrounded by the Casa Rosada, Cabildo, and the city’s main cathedral, marked by a small white obelisk. On Thursdays at 3:30pm, you’ll see the ‘Madres de la Plaza de Mayo’ gather and circle the obelisk, wearing white headscarves and holding photographs of their missing children.

"Plaza De Mayo is the oldest public square of the city of Buenos Aires and its the place where almost all the iconic moments of political history in Argentina took place (with the exception of the Declaration of Independence). Around it we can found the cathedral of the city, the government house (known as Casa Rosada - 'Pink House'), the museum of Cabildo and some other public buildings like banks and ministries."
Ryanne Dean
"Surrounded by the Casa Rosada, the Cabildo and the city's main cathedral, Plaza de Mayo is the place where Argentines gather in vehement protest or jubilant celebration. At the center is the Pirámide de Mayo, a white obelisk built to mark the first anniversary of independence from Spain."
