Introduction
The Obelisk is a landmark of Buenos Aires, located at the Republic Square in the intersection of Corrientes Avenue and July 9th Avenue. It was designed and built in 1936 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the city of Buenos Aires. The monument is about 67.5 meters high and its base area is about 49 square meters. Since the people initially opposed the project, it was almost completely demolished in 1939, and now it has become an irreplaceable landmark in the city. The Obelisk stands out in the heart of Buenos Aires and serves as a reference marker for visitors from all over the world.

The obelisk is a landmark in Buenos Aires, located in the Republic Square on the 9th of July
A very magnificent monument, he built it in a place with relatively concentrated traffic, but there will be a small open area around it, which makes this obelisk stand out, and the overall shape is relatively beautiful and good.
The monument is quite tall and can be seen on several nearby streets, and the obelisk is all white with no other words or patterns. It feels good and has a very important symbolic meaning.
I didn't go to see this monument specifically, because maybe all these monuments are similar. When I walked here, it was already night. Under the effect of lighting, this monument looked pretty good.
The obelisk is still quite tall, unexpectedly, and the whole building is very simple. It is located above an intersection, with a small alley on the back, and a big road in front, which is in a good location. See it at a glance.
