Club de Pescadores, Historic fishing club pier in Palermo, Argentina.
Club de Pescadores is a fishing club structure in Palermo featuring a long pier extending into the Río de la Plata with castle-like architecture, distinctive tower, and decorative windows. The building contains a restaurant serving seafood, fishing facilities, and display spaces all overlooking the water.
Construction of the current pier structure began in 1928 following presidential approval, with architect José N. Quartino designing the main building completed in 1937. The project emerged from efforts to establish a permanent home for the city's growing fishing community.
The club preserves Buenos Aires fishing heritage through a school, library, and museum displaying freshwater species. Visitors experience traditions rooted in generations of people working along the river.
The site is accessible year-round with areas for fishing and a seafood restaurant on the grounds. Note that some areas require membership while other sections welcome day visitors and tourists.
The location offers views of aircraft operations at nearby Jorge Newbery Airport on clear days, and under favorable conditions reveals distant views toward the Uruguayan coastline. These unexpected perspectives make it a surprising vantage point beyond typical city views.
