What do you think is inside this palace?

Not the presidential residence, but Buenos AIres' first (massive) water treatment plant.

It may sound trivial, but I’ve listened to enough @thispodcastwillkillyou to know that water distribution and sanitation is vital for a city to thrive. And the fact that Buenos Aires housed their water in a literal palace proves how much importance they gave to sanitation. It also shows how wealthy this country once was.

The museum inside is free to visit and worthwhile. You'll go inside the Riobamba entrance, walk inside and to the back, hang a left and go up the stairs (or just look lost and an employee will guide you).

📍 Riobamba 750, first floor (that’s upstairs for you fellow US citizens).
