Lonely Planet review

The Manzana de las Luces (Block of Enlightenment) was once Buenos Aires' main center of learning. Jesuit missionaries built a university here in the early 1700s, educating many of the country's leading thinkers. Underneath the Iglesia de San Ignacio (BA's oldest church) there are some tunnels, discovered in 1912, which you can tour.
