Lonely Planet review

It's impossible to imagine BA without the Obelisco. Towering 68m (223ft) above the oval Plaza de la República, it was inaugurated in 1936, on the 400th anniversary of the first Spanish settlement on the Río de la Plata. After major soccer victories, fans transform the intersection into a celebration ground.
