In-Depth Information
An artisans' fair/hippie market is held most
evenings on the Diagonal Pueyrredón , just
off the western side of the plaza.
If you continue
along Pueyrredón,
you'll soon come to
the Los Gallegos
Shopping Center.
Not far from the plaza at Yrigoyen 1627 is the
Municipalidad de General Pueyrredón
(Townhall), built in 1938. It was designed by
Alejandro Bustillo to resemble a 16th-century
Florentine palace. Also on Yrigoyen at 1675 is
the Teatro Colón y Club Español , built in
1924 by the architect Angel Pascual.
Walk through the center of the Plaza San
Martín and continue along Mitre one block off
the plaza to 25 de Mayo, where at 2751 you'll
pass the city's first public school, Escuela N1
Pascuala Mugaburu , which dates to 1917.
Then take the diagonal Alberdi towards the
beachfront. The Universidad Nacional de
Mar del Plata at 2695 houses the university's
administrative offices, as well as the Human-
ities, Law, Science and Social Science depart-
ments. The Monumento a los Caídos en
Malvinas (Monument to the Fallen of the
Falklands Conflict) is between Córdoba and
Santiago del Estero. Designed by Eduardo
Lodi, it was dedicated on December 16, 1986 to
honor those who perished in the Falklands
War.
Continue along Alberdi until it ends at the
Bulevard Marítimo Patricio Peralta Ramos and
the Monumento al Pescador (Monument to
the Fisherman), at the site of the original port
where salted leather hides were once loaded
