La Boca, Working-class district in southern Buenos Aires, Argentina
The neighborhood extends along the Riachuelo River, featuring rows of houses painted in bright colors of yellow, red, blue, and green against the industrial backdrop.
Italian immigrants from Genoa established this port community in the 1830s, creating a settlement that became central to Buenos Aires maritime commerce and development.
The streets of La Boca contain numerous art galleries, tango performances, and the football stadium La Bombonera, home to the Boca Juniors team.
Visitors should limit exploration to daylight hours and stay within the main tourist areas, particularly around Caminito Street and the stadium district.
In 1882, residents raised the Genoese flag and declared independence from Argentina until President Roca intervened to stop the secession attempt.
