El Palomar, Residential city in Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina.
El Palomar spans two administrative districts of Buenos Aires Province, with the majority of residents in Morón and others in Tres de Febrero. The locality is primarily shaped by residential neighborhoods that cluster around the railway station and main thoroughfares.
The area transformed from rural land into an urban settlement after the Buenos Aires and Pacific Railway opened a station there in 1910. This railway connection enabled the development of residential neighborhoods in the following decades.
The National Military College and the First Air Brigade of the Argentine Air Force maintain major facilities here that define this locality's character.
The city connects to downtown Buenos Aires via the San Martin railway line and National Route 7, offering multiple transportation options. Visitors should avoid peak travel times if they plan to use public transportation.
A three-story circular dovecote on the original property grounds remains preserved today and gave the city its name. This unusual structure stands as a quiet reminder of the locality's early origins.
