Pasaje de la Piedad, Historic passageway in San Nicolas district, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Pasaje de la Piedad is a passageway in San Nicolás with two wide entrances on Bartolomé Mitre Street that lead to a cobblestone path lined with 49 residential units. The facades show Italian architectural influence throughout.
Construction began in 1888 under Mayor Arturo Gramajo, with Genoese architects overseeing the project. The work was completed in 1909.
The passageway displays original ironwork and wooden doors that reflect the craftsmanship brought by Italian immigrants. These details remain visible throughout the walkway and shape how people experience the space today.
The passage connects Montevideo and Paraná streets via Bartolomé Mitre Street and sits about 800 meters from the Obelisk. Walking through is easy, with flat terrain and simple navigation.
From 1924 to 1930, famous tango musicians lived here and the spot served as a filming location for numerous Argentine films. This period made the passageway an important site in the city's entertainment history.
