6. Puente de la Mujer

   The Puente de la Mujer, one of the emblems of the Puerto Madero neighborhood, is the first work in Latin America by the renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and represents another sign that the City permanently seeks to position itself at the forefront of art and architecture in the whole region. It is a revolving pedestrian bridge with one of the largest turning mechanisms in the world, designed to allow the passage of sailing boats that navigate the docks of Puerto Madero. The work, made in Spain and donated to the City by an individual, represents the image of a couple dancing tango, where the white pole symbolizes the man and the curved silhouette of the bridge the woman.

7. Rosedal De Palermo

   Inside the Parque 3 de Febrero, in Palermo, is the Rosedal, with a collection of more than 18,000 roses and a lake that surrounds it. It occupies a space that belonged to the villa owned by Juan Manuel de Rosas, until it was defeated on February 3, 1852 at the Battle of Caseros. The work began with the landscaper Carlos Thays, the same one who built the Botanical Garden, Avellaneda Park and Lezama Park, among others. Later, it was completed by his disciple Benito Carrasco in 1914. Every July when the pruning season begins, residents and tourists approach gardeners to receive flowers or cuttings from which new species can reproduce. In this way, in winter the rose bushes bloom healthy and strong to reach their maximum development point in October.

8. La Recoleta Cemetery

   It is located in the exclusive neighborhood of Recoleta, which owes its name to the fact that there was the convent of the Recollect monks, to which the neighboring Basilica Nuestra Señora del Pilar also belonged (in the old monks' garden the cemetery was built ). It is the most visited in the city, due to its numerous and imposing mausoleums and vaults, belonging to many of the main protagonists of Argentine history, such as that of Eva Perón (Evita), one of the most popular tombs. It is also worth a visit for its architectural value, since it is a sample of the times when the country was an emerging economic power and the main families of the city competed to build splendid pantheons. Many of the vaults and mausoleums are the work of important architects and are adorned with marbles and sculptures; more than 90 vaults have been declared a National Historic Landmark.
