Avenida de Mayo, Historic avenue in Monserrat, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Avenida de Mayo extends 1.5 kilometers from Plaza de Mayo to the National Congress Building, featuring European-style architecture along its path.
The avenue, completed in 1894 under Mayor Torcuato de Alvear, commemorates the May Revolution of 1810 that led to Argentina's independence from Spain.
Numerous cafes line the avenue, including Cafe Tortoni from 1858 and Bar Iberia from 1897, where writers and intellectuals gather regularly.
The avenue connects to two metro lines with stations Avenida de Mayo on Line C and Piedras and Saenz Pena on Line A.
The Palacio Barolo on Avenida de Mayo became the first building to exceed the 24-meter height limit, setting a precedent for future construction.
