In Argentina, a few kilometers away from Rio de la Plata, the widest in the world, on November 19th 1882 was founded what would shortly after be the city of La Plata: the main political, administrative and educational center in the province of Buenos Aires, and one of the most attractive cities in Latin America.
Built in a perfect square, the City of Diagonals (by plotting some of its streets) invites all the time to dive among its inhabitants, stroll through the forest (in it is erected the main Museum of Natural Science in the Spanish speaking world) and enjoy its squares (located every six blocks). There are perceivable chords of rock and roll and the babble of young people coming from all over the country to study at the National University of La Plata, one of the most important in the continent.
Therefore, this city has been caught in several literary works (in the style of The Adventure of a Photographer in La Plata, important novel by Adolfo Bioy Casares) and because its architecture is also impressive with gems like the parish Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, considered among the ten most important cathedrals in the world during late last century. And if we say it is exclusive, there are the Curutchet House, a detached house designed by the famous Swiss architect Le Corbusier, built between 1949 and 1953, and declared by UNESCO in 2016 a World Heritage Site. It also stands the Children's Republic, the first theme park in America from which Walt Disney got inspired to build Disneyland after visiting it.
As elsewhere in the country, football is the most serious passion in La Plata. While the ball spins only around two famous clubs and rivals Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata and Estudiantes de La Plata. This explains why for those who have settled in this land, "everything can change, but the color of their shirt."
