Magnificent place to visit. Need to check the time table for English guide. 250 peso for the entrance. This was built at the hey time of Argentina when it was one of the wealthiest country in the world. The entire design was meant to mimic European style with all the material from there. You will feel like visiting one of the royal palace in Europe.

In particular, I am amazed by the story of the seclusive chamber which was built to accommodate the grieving noble ladies who lost their husband but not allowed to entertain themselves during the mourning period. Something I never knew but reflect a culture and social etiquette in history.
