This is reported to be the first church in Buenos Aires. It is certainly very impressive from the inside but not bad from outside. There are a lot of historical artefacts as well as some historical books, documents and other church paraphernalia. The church's cloisters are open for a small donation. Although a lot of modifications have rebuilding of the... More

From the outside this is a pretty but not imposing church, however inside it's like an Aladdins cave. Try to arrive when a local family is having a service and enjoy.

This Basilica was originally established before the Recoleta Cemetery was started. It therefore dates back to the origins of the city. It is a picturesque church...but the highlight are the cloisters which date back to the very origins of the recoletas who were the founding order. The cloisters themselves offer interesting religious artifacts and an opportunity to visit rooms from... More

The church itself isn't a "destination" but, since Recoleta Cemetery is, it's worth a pop-in since you'll be in the neighborhood. Inside is not exactly memorable but the history is substantial for those interested in that sort of thing. The location is great as the outdoor market/craft stalls are right there and so is the entrance to the cemetery. Worth... More

It is a must stop between the cementery and the UBA Law School. It is also situated in Recoleta and very near it, there is an old argentinean cafe called La Biela where... More

The church is located next to the famous Recoleta Cementry. It is beautifuly decorated and you can also visit the tunnels underneath it, where the monks used to live. Guided tour suggested if possible.

Unless you're very interested in churches there's nothing particularly special about this one. It's definitely got some interesting character inside and if you're around you might as well check it out, but nothing to plan a trip around.

Right next door to Recoleta this church dates back to 1715 and is a simple layout. We did look out for the baroque style alters that are mentioned in the guide books. Often used for the weddings & funerals of the wealthy Argentinians. As you walk round you are accompanied by the sounds of recorded Gregorian chant music. Above the... More

Typical colonial church. Very nice area to visit, not only the church
