Museo de Arte Español Enrique Larreta

TIME : 2016/2/19 14:18:17

Hispanophile novelist Enrique Larreta (1875–1961) resided in this elegant colonial-style house across from Plaza Belgrano, which now displays his private art collection to the public. It’s a grand and spacious old building, and contains classic Spanish art, period furniture, wood-carved religious items, and shields and armor. The wood and tiled floors are beautiful, and everything is richly lit. Tours in Spanish are given at 5pm Monday to Friday, and 4pm and 6pm on Saturday and Sunday. Be sure to stroll the lovely gardens out back.
