Capital of the Province of Buenos Aires, La Plata (just 50 minutes from Buenos Aires City, by car) is a still young city: its construction started in 1882, based in a modern and innovative urban planning project, whose main characteristics had influenced the construction of Belo Horizonte (Brazil), 15 years later. In this pic, a sight of "Plaza Moreno" (Moreno Square), with the City Hall on the back. La Plata worths a visit, for sure!

Largest neogothical church in South America, La Plata Cathedral (Catedral de La Inmaculada Concepción) is located in Plaza Moreno, in front of the place where the city was born. Its construction started in 1885 and finished in 2000, when the 112 meters high towers were inaugurated. Two modern elevators make easy to get almost to the top of the left tower and have nice views of La Plata and surroundings, including the uruguayan coast, on the other side of La Plata River.
