What To Expect

Palacio Barolo

The Barolo Palace, located in the Monserrat neighborhood, was built by the Italian architect Mario Palanti for businessman Luigi Barolo. At that time, it was the tallest building in South America, until the Kavanagh was built in 1935.

The Barolo was the first reinforced concrete building of almost 100 meters. of height and is topped by a revolving headlight of 300,000 spark plugs on the 22nd floor that, in 1923, transmitted with its lights the result of the fight for the world boxing title between Luis Angel Firpo and Jack Dempsey in New York.

In 2010, the city government promoted the restoration of the magnificent lighthouse to participate, with its glimmer, of the Argentine bicentennial festivities. Both Palanti and Barolo were admirers of Dante Alighieri and in the building there are references to the Divine Comedy, as the general division of the project into three parts, which correspond to the hell, purgatory and heaven of the work. In addition, the building is reminiscent of the architecture of India, as Palanti took references from the Palace of the Winds in Jaipur and the Rajarani temple in Bhubaneshvar.
