Galerías Pacífico, Commercial building and shopping center in downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina

Galerías Pacífico occupies an entire block between Florida, Viamonte, San Martín streets and Córdoba Avenue, with Renaissance Revival architecture and glass cupola.

The building, designed by Roland Le Vacher in 1888, was initially meant to house the Argentine branch of Paris' Au Bon Marché department store.

The central dome features murals painted between 1945 and 1947 by Argentine artists Antonio Berni, Lino Spilimbergo, Demetrio Urruchúa, and Juan Carlos Castagnino.

The three-floor shopping center contains international brand stores, leather shops, a food court, currency exchange services, and ATMs for visitors' convenience.

The Centro Cultural Borges within the complex offers tango classes, art exhibitions, and workshops, continuing the building's tradition of cultural engagement.
