Catedral Metropolitana, Buenos Aires
The Metropolitan Cathedral, completed in 1862, is a combination of neoclassic, neo-Renaissance, Corinthian and Baroque. And it is a lesson in detail. Corinthian columns adorn the Cathedral's neoclassic façade. The neo-renaissance defines the vessels and dome. And the alter is keeping with the Baroque style. The Cathedral also houses the guarded tomb of José de San Martín, an Argentine national hero.
