Address: Plaza de Mayo, San Martin, Buenos Aires, Argentina, AR
This magnificent neo-Classical Catholic church is most famous for housing the earthly remains of General José de San Martin, the national hero known for his part in freeing the country from Spanish control. The first stone of the church was laid in the 16th century and this magnificent religious landmark has undergone various rebuilding and renovation projects since then, with the current structure having been completed in the mid-19th century.
The line of 12 stone columns along the front make the cathedral appear more like an ancient Greek temple, rather than an actual place of worship.
