Lonely Planet review for Obelisco

Inaugurated in 1936 on the 400th anniversary of the first Spanish settlement and stretching 68m skyward, El Obelisco is more than a point of orientation – love it or hate it, it’s a striking symbol of modern Buenos Aires. The monument’s popularity peaked in 2005 when it donned a huge pink condom for AIDS awareness day.
