Instituto Saturnino Unzué, Byzantine Revival orphanage in Mar del Plata, Argentina.
The Instituto Saturnino Unzué features an H-shaped layout with two floors, incorporating living quarters and educational facilities facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The Unzué sisters commissioned French architect Louis Faure-Dujarric to design this building, which opened its doors in March 1912 to serve orphaned children.
The institute contains an oratory with Italian decorative elements, including marble from Carrara and a central dome measuring 10 meters in diameter.
The facility continues to function under the National Secretariat of Childhood, Adolescence and Family within Argentina's Ministry of Social Development.
The building houses an organ manufactured by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, considered among the finest instruments of its time period.
