Address: Calle Caseros 417
Calle Caseros, a busy thoroughfare leading east from the southern side of Plaza 9 de Julio, takes you past a number of striking Neocolonial buildings and a fine late eighteenth-century house built to a simple design and with one of the most charming patios in the city: the Casa Uriburu. Now containing a museum of period furniture and Uriburu memorabilia, it was once home to the influential Uriburu family, who produced two presidents of Argentina. The most impressive room is undoubtedly the reconstructed kitchen, with its polished copper and earthenware pots.
