PALERMO AND BELGRANO
The sprawling barrios of Palermo and
Belgrano boast open spaces filled by
parks, a racecourse, and the city zoo.
Palermo grew in the late 19th century
during the presidency of Sarmiento,
who was responsible for the building of
Jardín Botánico and Parque 3 de Febrero.
Belgrano was named after Manuel Belgrano,
the military leader who designed the
country's national flag. These barrios are
considered superior by most Argentinians
for their many urban conveniences and
museums, which include MALBA. Their
parks are loved by porteños, who come
en masse on weekends to walk, jog, or
share a round of
mate
on the lawns.
