Captured in the 1950s, this photograph showcases the grandeur and charm of one of the city's most famous landmarks – a pedestrianised boulevard that stretches an impressive 130 metres in width, making it the widest in the world. The avenue, named after Argentina's Declaration of Independence on July 9, 1816, is a testament to the city's rich history and architectural diversity. In the foreground, you can see the iconic Obelisk of Buenos Aires, a monument erected in 1936 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city's founding. The obelisk stands proudly at the intersection of Avenida 9 de Julio and Avenida Rivadavia, serving as a symbol of Argentine pride and progress. As you move further into the photograph, you'll notice the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The wide, tree-lined streets are filled with people, cars, and trams, creating a lively scene that showcases the energy and vitality of Buenos Aires.
