After exploring Plaza de Mayo, we went to see el Obelisco de Buenos Aires (the Obelisk). Located in the Plaza de la República, the Obelisk marks a main city hub. Sadly, we were unable to visit the Obelisk at night, when the surrounding neon signs and the structure itself are lit up.

The north side inscription commemorates the first time the city flag was raised, from the St. Nicholas tower. The tower itself was demolished.
