Evita Museum
Evita Museum

The Evita Museum (in Spanish: Museo Evita) is located in the neighborhood of Palermo, Buenos Aires, at 2988 Lafinur Street. It is dedicated to the life and legacy of Eva Duarte de Perón and her work through the Eva Perón Foundation. The museum building also hosts the Eva Perón National Institute of Research, which focuses on academic studies and research about her life and impact. The building, known as the Carabassa Building, features Spanish Colonial architecture. It was constructed in 1923 and designed by the architect Estanislao Pirovano, who originally intended it as a residence for the Carabassa family, a family of bankers. After 1941, the building began to serve as the headquarters for various charitable organizations. In 1948, the Eva Perón Foundation acquired the property to use it as a shelter for impoverished families temporarily staying in Buenos Aires, replicating similar facilities established throughout Argentina. The institution was closed in 1955 following the Revolución Libertadora, and since then, the Argentine state has used the building for various purposes. In the 1990s, a movement began to create a museum dedicated to Eva Perón in the building. In 1998, renovation works were initiated as part of an initiative by President Carlos Menem, who also declared the site a Historical Landmark of Argentina. In 1999, he signed the decree establishing the Eva Perón National Institute. On 26 July 2002, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Eva Perón's death, the museum was formally inaugurated.

Mount Ararat Square (Buenos Aires)
Mount Ararat Square (Buenos Aires)

Mount Ararat Square (Spanish: Plazoleta Monte Ararat) is a small park situated in the neighbourhood of Palermo, Buenos Aires. Dedicated to the Armenian community in Argentina, the square was placed in 1983, two years after the consecration of the Armenian Cathedral of Our Lady of Narek, lying just across of Mount Ararat square, on Charcas Street. Since its inauguration in March 1998, a monumental fountain sits on its northwestern tip, facing Jerónimo Salguero Street, composed by six triangular, marble-faced, red ochre granite slabs, said on the accompanying bronze plaque to represent Mount Ararat, but in disposition somewhat resembling the Tsitsernakaberd memorial in Yerevan. Some sources claim that this monument is indeed a replica of the Tsitsernakaberd of Yerevan. The Spanish text of the dedication bronze plaque itself proclaims that the monument was made to allegorise Mount Ararat, and some of the sources indicate this as well.The initiative towards the erection of this monument came in 1988 from the Senator for the Federal District Fernando de la Rúa (Unión Cívica Radical), though the draft law expired before being treated in Congress. As Chief of Government of the City of Buenos Aires, in 1998, De la Rúa - who was to become President of Argentina on the next year - proceeded to realise this belated project of his, inaugurating the square's fountain with the presence of Hovhannes Bedros XVIII, the Armenian Catholic Catolicos-Patriarch of Cilicia, and Vartán Waldir Boghossian, the Catholic Bishop for the Eparchy of the Armenians of Saint Gregory of Narek in Buenos Aires, and the attendance of notables and residents of the neighbourhood.
