Flores, Residential district in western Buenos Aires, Argentina

The neighborhood extends across 8.1 square kilometers with streets lined by a combination of traditional houses and modern apartment buildings.

Originally established as a rural settlement in the early 1700s, Flores became officially integrated into Buenos Aires city limits in 1888.

The Basilica of San Jose de Flores stands as a religious center where Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who later became Pope Francis, attended services.

The area connects to central Buenos Aires through multiple bus lines and train services at Flores station along Avenida Rivadavia.

The Marco del Pont Cultural Center, housed in a preserved 1860s Italianate mansion, serves as an educational and artistic venue.
