Lonely Planet review for Manzana de Las Luces
The Manzana de las Luces (Block of Enlightenment) was once the meeting place of Argentina’s intellectual heavyweights. The intriguing complex, connected to nearby buildings by a series of underground tunnels that were rediscovered in 1912, includes a university built by Jesuit missionaries in the early 1700s and the Iglesia de San Ignacio, BA’s oldest church.
