The Complejo Histórico Cultural Manzana de las Luces (Block of the Lights Historical-Cultural Complex) is a significant historical site in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Located in the heart of the city, this complex is one of the oldest and most important areas in Buenos Aires, dating back to the colonial era. It comprises a series of interconnected buildings, including churches, schools, and mansions, many of which played a crucial role in the intellectual and political life of Argentina during the 18th and 19th centuries. The name "Manzana de las Luces" refers to its role as a center of knowledge and enlightenment, where prominent figures of the time, including intellectuals and revolutionaries, gathered. Today, it serves as a cultural center, housing museums, exhibitions, and cultural events that highlight Argentina's history and heritage. It is a must-visit for those interested in exploring the roots of Buenos Aires' colonial and...

Mixed feelings

Guide is good, but actually not much story given and missed opportunities to introduce small objects and ppl's stories. The tour is more about what they found in the buildings but not much about the related peoples and their daily life at all. My gut feeling is that it would be fantastic if they make better video materials on those small tv and place it on each sections. Then you don't even need a tour and visitor can take their time to digest.

I recommend checking out how cultural museum in Japan...

La verdad, una tarde de viernes totalmente aprovechada. Personalmente, ni siquiera sabía de la existencia del lugar hasta el día anterior que me invitaron a visitarlo. La visita guiada no me decepcionó para nada, al contrario, creo que es necesaria para poder entender y conocer más la historia del lugar, historia que para la mayoría es desconocida. El chico que nos hizo la visita un genio, amable, claro en la explicación, super predispuesto y le mete toda la onda. Quedé admirada por la cantidad de historia que tiene el lugar y lo poco valorado que está (por lo menos según mi punto de vista, ya que ni siquiera lo conocía, tendría que tener más reputación). Totalmente recomendable ir como paseo, aprovechar las visitas guiadas de los días de verano, dura un poco más de una hora y hasta te da tiempo de ir a algún lugar cercano a terminar la jornada cenando/picando y disfrutando de la caída del sol. Encima es gratis. Y ahí nos informaron que hay actividades culturales todo el tiempo, espectáculos, clases (en ese momento empezaba una clase de tango), qué más se puede pedir?
