Centro Cultural Recoleta

Junín 1930, Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Tel: +54 11 48047040 Web: Visit this site »
 

Built in 1716 by the Franciscan Recoleto monks, this complex later served as a hospital during the English invasions. In 1928 it was reduced to make way for the expansion of the adjacent Recoleta Cemetery. Years later it became an asylum for over 800 homeless and elderly, until in 1978 it was destined for use as a cultural centre. The walls were fortified and painted in ochre and reddish tones, and it now bustles with cultural and educational activities for young and old. There is a small cafe, a gift shop and bookstore on the premises. Offices of the United Nations are also found here.
