Here we will have the opportunity to see one of the most beautiful murals in the Boca neighbourhood "San Diego del Barrio de la Boca". On the walls of a building you will find the mural of the beloved Diego Armando Maradona, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. The mural painted by Alfredo Segatori.

Continuing on our tour through the La Boca neighbourhood, we will observe the mural that honours the most important artist of our country: Benito Quinquela Martín. The mural called " El Sueño de Quinquela" mixes all styles, figuration and recycling through the incorporation of waste materials. The work was also created by the artist Alfredo Segatori.

The mural "El regreso de Quinquela", one of the largest in the world created by a single painter using freehand aerosol. Declared of Cultural Interest. The work presents a landscape that fuses four iconic paintings by Quinquela and on the other hand, the portrait of workers and neighbors who live in Barracas.
