Occupying an entire city block, this market was built in 1897 by Juan Antonio Buschiazzo, the same Italian-born Argentine architect who designed the Recoleta Cemetery. Locals shop here for fresh produce, cheese and meat.

San Telmo market built in 1897

This is a painting of a few of the Ushuaia inmates. A prison that opened in 1873, received its first inmates in 1896, and was closed in 1947 by President Juan Perón. The painting shows some the prison’s inmates, in particular the “Petiso Orejudo” (“Big Eared Midget”) in the very back, an Argentinian serial killer who terrified Buenos Aires at the age of 16. In the early 20th century, he was responsible for the murder of four children, the attempted murder of another seven children, and the arson of seven buildings. More about him here.
