San Nicolás, Buenos Aires

San Nicolás is a business district in Buenos Aires that houses Argentina's financial center, with multiple banks and the national stock exchange along Florida Street. The neighborhood spans several blocks with office buildings, shopping streets, and historic structures.

The neighborhood takes its name from the San Nicolás Parish established in 1773, which once stood where the Obelisk now stands. This transformation reflects the area's shift from a religious center to a modern business zone.

The Teatro Colón shapes the neighborhood with opera performances and international artists throughout the season. Visitors can experience the theater's architecture and witness the cultural life of the city.

The district connects to all subway lines of Buenos Aires through multiple stations, making it accessible from anywhere in the city. The area features pedestrian zones, so visitors can reach most points of interest on foot.

The district houses Argentina's Supreme Court in the Palacio de Justicia, built with marble from different regions of the country. This choice of materials symbolizes the unity of Argentina's provinces at this significant location.
