What a grand cathedral with an impressive entrance off of a nice public plaza which adds to the grandness of it all. Really enjoyed stumbling around and an easy trip from buenos aires (45 minutes by car without traffic).

There is not much to see in La Plata except for all the parks, but it is a very pretty city and it is much more relaxed than BA. The Cathedral is really neat with a museum below that has some history and an elevator that will take you to the top of one of the towers. It is definitely... More

Never had I seen such a splendour in terms of church. Until that day, the Basilica of Lujan in Argentina, The cathedral fo Santiago in Chile and the churches in Rio... More
