Galería Güemes, Art Nouveau building in Florida Street, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Galería Güemes extends 100 meters through the center of Buenos Aires, connecting Florida and San Martín streets with ornate marble columns and glass domes.
Built in 1915 by architect Francesco Gianotti, this 87-meter structure stood as the first skyscraper in Buenos Aires with its fourteen floors and fourteen elevators.
The building houses an Art Nouveau theater that presents the Piazzolla Tango show after undergoing extensive restoration in the early 2000s.
Visitors can access the observation deck on the fourteenth floor Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to noon and 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of The Little Prince, resided in one of the building's apartments during his time in Buenos Aires.
