Galeria Pacifico Shopping Mall Mural

Galería Pacífico Shopping Mall Mural

Even though I’m not a fan of visiting malls when I travel, I do actually recommend that you visit The Galería Pacífico Shopping Mall on the Buenos Aires downtown pedestrian street called Florida. The building itself is historic, dating back to around 1890 and fills up an entire block with 4 levels for shopaholics. But makes it worthy of a visit is the mural of the central cupola that was painted by five famous artists in 1945. Some time later the building was abandoned but in 1989 it was declared a national monument and then restored to its former glory. The photo below will give you an idea of how beautiful the dome’s mural is, pretty much on a par with the best churches in Europe:
