Buenos Aires - San Nicolás: Plaza de la República - Obelisco de Buenos Aires od wallyg

El Obelisco de Buenos Aires (The Obelisk of Buenos Aires), located in Plaza de la República, was built in 1936 to celebrate the the fourth centenary of the first foundation of the city by Pedro de Mendoza. The 67.5-meter tall obelisk, which rises to a blunt tip measuring only 40 cm, was designed by architect Alberto Prebisch and constructed out of 680 m³ of concrete and 1360 m² of Olaen white stone from Córdoba by the German company G.E.O.P.E. - Siemens Bauunion - Grün & Bilfinger in just 31 days. The obelisk features only one entrance that leads to 207 steps that climb to a top with four small windows not open for public viewing. Plaza de la República (Republic Square), located at the intersection of the city's city's three main arteries--Avenida 9 de julio, Avenida Corrientes, and Avenida Presidente Roque Sáenz Peña or Diagonal Norte, was once the site of Iglesia de San Nicolás, where the Argentine flag was first displayed on August 23, 1812, shortly after independence from Spain. This church was demolished, but an inscription on the north side of the Obelisco honors its noble sacrifice. Originally a circular paved esplanade, Plaza de la República was enlarged to its current dimensions in 1962 and its present layout was established in 1971, when Avenida Corrientes Avenue was rerouted through it around the obelisk to ease car traffic into the city's financial district. Recently the public project Punto Obelisco has created a full zone of LED signs, similar to Time square or Picadilly Circus.
