Libertadores

Avenida Del Libertador (Buenos Aires)
Avenida del Libertador is one of the principal thoroughfares in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in points north, extending from the Retiro District of Buenos Aires (where it continues as Avenida Leandro N. Alem) to the northern suburb of San Fernando. History Inspired by Parisian urbanist Baron Haussmann's renowned modernization of the City of Lights, Mayor Torcuato de Alvear took office with a similar mandate in 1880. Inheriting a rapidly growing city hamstrung by a typically colonial grid of narrow streets, his most ambitious project would be a boulevard connecting the Retiro section (north of downtown) to the growing neighborhoods of Recoleta and Palermo to the northeast (at the time merely suburbs). Bella Vista Street was widened and lengthened, reaching northwest into Palermo and, upon its inaugural in 1885, was renamed in honor the Mayor's father, Carlos María de Alvear (one of Argentina's early leaders). Soon becoming among the most coveted addresses in Buenos Aire ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Libertador Avenue
Libertador Avenue is a major avenue in Montevideo, Uruguay. It stretches north from the Legislative Palace in Aguada to Plaza Fabini in Centro, and is named after Juan Antonio Lavalleja, revolutionary figure and politician, who led the group of the Thirty-Three Orientals in the insurrection for the independence of Oriental Province. History and description In its beginnings it was called Agraciada Avenue, but in the 1920s the ''Agraciada Diagonal'' project was carried out, which consisted of widening the road, which required the demolition of buildings such as the original façade of the Church of Our Lady of the Mount Carmel. The new diagonal joined the Legislative Palace, which was inaugurated in 1925, with the central business district. In the 1940s, buildings such as the headquarters of the State Insurance Bank and the National Administration of Fuels, Alcohol and Portland (ANCAP) were erected. Despite being long, it carries a large amount of traffic, as it serv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
