Lonely Planet review

Just behind Galerías Pacífico and across from the Centro Cultural Borges is this pretty, out-of-place church. Santa Catalina was founded in 1745, when it became Buenos Aires' first convent. Today it is a church, and a peek inside reveals beautiful gilded works and a Baroque altarpiece created by Isidro Lorea, a Spanish carver.
