Stop 1

The Woman’s Bridge, one of the emblems of the Puerto Madero neighborhood, is the first work in Latin America by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and represents yet another example of the City’s ongoing quest to position itself at the forefront of art and architecture throughout the region. It is a rotating pedestrian bridge with one of the largest turning mechanisms in the world, designed to allow the passage of sailing boats that navigate the docks of Puerto Madero. The work, made in Spain and donated to the City by an individual, depicts the image of a couple dancing tango, where the white mast symbolizes the man and the curved silhouette of the bridge is the woman.

It is a palace located in front of the Plaza de Mayo that functions as the seat of the National Government. This imposing pink building occupies the plot where the Fort of Buenos Aires was erected in 1580. It was the residence of the Spanish viceroys and then housed, with some reforms, the authorities of successive national governments. The current building is the product of the merger of two previous constructions: the presidential headquarters and the Post Office Palace (on the corner of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Balcarce).
