Paris of South America? Look at the photos attached here, there is one photo from when this monument was inaugurated that shows the stark contrast of the Buenos Aires of today (massive apartment blocks lacking personality or charm) to the city that earned the moniker "Paris of South America." The original plaza was lined by mansions with intricate details, nothing to do with what you see today.
