Retiro, Administrative district in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Retiro extends through the northeastern section of Buenos Aires, containing major transportation hubs, office buildings, and residential areas near the Río de la Plata.
The district became a slave trade center in the early 1700s when the Compagnie de Guinée and South Sea Company established operations until 1739.
Plaza San Martín functions as the central green space of the district, featuring monuments and surrounding French-style mansions from the early 20th century.
Three train terminals and a subway station serve as connection points for metropolitan rail lines, long-distance buses, and public transportation services.
The district includes Villa 31, a large informal settlement that developed near the port area during the 1930s and now houses 26,000 residents.
