Basílica de San Nicolás de Bari, Buenos Aires, Minor basilica in San Nicolás district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The basilica features two symmetrical towers with original bells from the old church, a central nave, and side chapels decorated with mosaic murals.
The original church from 1733 stood at Corrientes and Carlos Pellegrini intersection until 1931, when it was demolished for street expansion projects.
The baptismal font from the original church remains preserved, where Argentine leaders Mariano Moreno and Bartolomé Mitre received their baptisms.
The current basilica, completed in 1935 in French Academic style, stands at 1364 Santa Fe Avenue in central Buenos Aires.
On August 23, 1812, the Argentine national flag was raised for the first time in Buenos Aires from one of the original church towers.
