This is a neogothic cathedral in the historic area of San Isidro, a suburb of Buenos Aires. Built on the site of a 1706 chapel opened by the city's founder, Captain Domingo de Acassuso, the cathedral was designed by French architects Dunant and Paquin, and inaugurated on July 14, 1898.

I visited the neighborhood where I went to secondary school and spent some minutes sketching the cathedral  and a beautiful building in the back. I will have to go there again. The ornamentation of the buildings was overwhelming and it requires a lot more time.
