A
Edificio Kavanagh
A feisty Irishwoman funded the construction of this handsome 120m art-deco apartment building, which was the tallest skyscraper in Latin America at the time of its construction in 1935. A local rumor claims that the heiress, vengeful towards another aristocratic family for scorning her daughter, built the structure that high to block light from entering the basilica where her rivals attended Mass every Sunday.

Torre de Los Ingleses
Big Ben in Buenos Aires. This 76m clock tower, located just across Plaza San Martín, was donated by the city’s British community in 1910. Decades later, it was a bomb target during the 1982 Falklands War.
