Nueva Pompeya, Traditional neighborhood in southern Buenos Aires, Argentina
Nueva Pompeya spans across residential areas with one-story houses, industrial zones, and commercial districts along Sáenz Avenue near the Riachuelo River.
The district emerged in the early 1900s when Capuchin monks built the Gothic Revival church of Our Lady of the Rosary, incorporating materials from ancient Pompeii.
The neighborhood maintains deep connections to tango music, as exemplified by composer Homero Manzi who created numerous songs reflecting local life and traditions.
Transportation infrastructure includes multiple bus lines, the Premetro light rail system, and the Sáenz Avenue corridor connecting to central Buenos Aires.
Every Sunday, the Buenos Aires Bird Fair draws visitors to the neighborhood, where merchants display and sell various species of birds near the train station.
