The area
Neighborhood: San Nicolás
Immersed in the sound of honking horns and the footsteps of busy office workers, the Microcentro area of San Nicolás is where visitors will encounter the true hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires, walking down streets lined with office buildings and banks. The financial district is well-known for its vibrant atmosphere and unstoppable rhythm during office hours. After dark, the hubbub migrates to Corrientes Ave., where theater lovers might start their evening at a play and end it in one of the many traditional pizzerias nearby. During the day, Corrientes is known for its many bookshops and classic cafés, which are located just minutes away from some famous landmarks, like the Obelisco, Avenida 9 de Julio, and the Teatro Colon.

Beautiful building. Really looks like you are standing in a European neighborhood with this kind of architecture in front of you. Bring a camera as this building is that pretty. Would not spend all day here, but certainly worth a quick visit.

This is a great sample of the glorious times of very a country with profound ties with Europe. This French style building was ordered by a small group of entrepreneurs Navy officers. You can make a guided tour, but requires prior booking.

We stayed in a hotel just across the street and were very impressed by the beautiful facade and entrance door of this building. Don't miss this when you are working across Florida street.

The centro naval on Avenida Florida has one of the best facades in the downtown district of the city, not too far from Gasa Rosada. The detail in the entry and upper floors is amazing. It is very well preserved example of neo-classical architecture. Unfortunately I could not go inside.

This is an impressive, if dirty, building in the middle of a somewhat tacky shopping street. It's worth a minute of one's time.

This gem of Buenos Aires architecture has one of the most impressive facades in the whole city. The detail is amazing. It is incredibly and impeccably well preserved. The stunningly executed mansard roof and turret are some of the best examples of neo-classical architecture that exist on this continent. If you are able to go inside, the interior is just as impressive as the facade.

I passed by this building as I was walking down Calle Florida. Impressive architecture, but unfortunately you can only go as far as the lobby.

Unfortunately there are many clubs where access is granted to members only.
The professional Navy in Argentina began in 1872 with the creation of a Navy Academy, oriented to riverine navigation. With the acquisition of some frigates began it´s extension to maritime and oceanic perspectives.
For the "Centro Naval" specifically, the magazine is free to download and distribute since the first publication in 1882 from their official web site.
For the navy history, a very well documented and reliable site is (translation is History and Archeology of the Sea):
