Introduction

May Square was built in 1580, coinciding with the birth of Buenos Aires city. The square, originally called "Great Square" or "Victory Square," bears witness to various historical periods and popular movements throughout Argentina's hundreds of years of history.

Indispensable to the development of the Argentine Republic and the city, this square is a symbol of Argentina, attracting many domestic and foreign tourists due to its unique charm.
