<ÍRITU IT WAS THE FIRST APARTMENT TOWER, IN ADDITION TO BEING FOR YEARS THE TALLEST SKYSCRAPER IN LATIN AMERICA. ITS WALLS MAINTAIN A SIMPLE GEOMETRY, BUT ITS FOUNDATIONS HOLD VOLUPTUOUS EMOTIONS.

OPENED IN 1936 THE KAVANAGH BECAME THE TALLEST SKYSCRAPER IN SOUTH AMERICA AND THE FIRST APARTMENT BUILDING WITH CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING, SWIMMING POOL AND GYM, AMONG OTHER LUXURIES FOR THE TIME. YOUR 120 METERS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE IN STEPS WITH A GARDEN TERRACES, BETWEEN FLORIDA AND SAN MARTIN STREETS, WERE DECLARED BY UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE MODERNITY. HOWEVER, BEHIND HIS RATIONALIST STYLE, THERE IS A HISTORY FULL OF PASSIONS AND EXCESSES.

OAOAAOOAOAO

ACCORDING TO THE URBAN MYTH, CORINA KAVANAGH, A WEALTHY WOMAN BUT WITHOUT LINEAGE, BUILT THE TOWER TO TAKE REVENGE ON ONE OF THE MORE FAMILIES TRADITIONAL OF THE COUNTRY, THE ANCHORENA. APPARENTLY THE ROMANCE BETWEEN HER DAUGHTER AND ONE OF THE YOUNG MEN WITH AN ILLUSTRIOUS SURNAME ENDED BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER ACCEPTED BY THE PATRICIAN CASTE. THE "NEW RICH", THEN, IN THE FACE OF SUCH A SLIGHT, HE CONTINUED HIS SYMBOLIC REVENGE. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE STORIES THAT BUENOS AIRES HIDES WITH TANGOL TOURS, CLICK HERE & NBSP ;

EN AT THAT TIME, THE ANCHORENAS LIVED IN THE PALACE WHERE THEY CURRENTLY IS THE CHANCELLERY (IN FRONT OF PLAZA SAN MARTÍN IN THE RETIRO NEIGHBORHOOD) AND FROM THEIR WINDOWS THEY COULD SEE THE TOMB FAMILY WHERE HIS ANCESTORS LAY: THE BASILICA OF THE HOLY SACRAMENT. CORINA, SMART AND PROUD, BOUGHT THE LOTS IN FRONT TO THE CHURCH AND ORDERED THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING. THE ONLY ORDER THAT HE DID TO THE ARCHITECTS WAS THAT THE WORK COVERED THE TEMPLE. TODAY, IN ORDER TO SEE THE FACADE OF THE CHURCH YOU HAVE TO STAND IN THE PASSAGE CORINA KAVANAGH, WHO ALSO BELONGS TO THE CONSTRUCTION.
