Plaza Dorrego, Historic square in San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Plaza Dorrego sits at the intersection of Defensa and Humberto Primero streets, surrounded by colonial buildings and traditional cafes with outdoor seating.

The square originated as a Bethlehemite monastery site and later became a gathering place where citizens celebrated Argentina's independence from Spanish rule.

Every Sunday, over 250 vendors display antiques, crafts, and collectibles while tango dancers perform in the open air for spectators.

The square connects to public transportation routes and features numerous restaurants, making it convenient for both dining and exploring San Telmo district.

Many original colonial buildings around Plaza Dorrego maintain their initial architectural design through preservation efforts by the City Museum Commission.
