Palacio Barolo

Located in Buenos Aires, located in Argentina, Palacio Barolo, is even surprised by its architecture. It was built back in 1923, and at that time it was considered the highest of the buildings on the whole continent. Now the building is considered the National Historical Monument of Argentina. The project for its construction was developed by the architect from Italy, Mario Palanti, who created this work of art at the request of Luis Barolo. It is noteworthy that the architect paid attention not only to the project itself, but also to trifles, such as elevator grilles, door handles, chandeliers and other elements.

The opening of Palacio Barolo occurred on July 7. It is very curious that the Argentinean structure has a twin brother who is in Uruguay and is called Palacio Salvo. Therefore, it is safe to say that Palacio Barolo is in reality distinguished by its originality, because otherwise no one would have been involved in creating his twin. Today, almost all the premises of the building are rented for offices, where employees of 520 firms work.

During construction, Palanti decided to implement a truly original architectural solution, the eclectic style and Spirit « Divine Comedy » D. are well felt here. Alighieri. The total height of Palacio Barolo is 100 m., It is this number of songs that the work of D. has. Alighieri is not just a figure, but a symbolic meaning of perfection. The basement of the building represents « ad », and « the territory of 1-14 floors is considered to be the purgatory », while the expanses « ray » begin on the 15th.

At the very top of the building is a lighthouse, which is « 9 Angel ranks ». Now Mayak works only once a month, illuminating the sky of Buenos Aires and its light is so bright that it can be seen even when in Uruguay.

Luis Barnaul had the intention to bring the legendary genius Dante Alighieri to the Argentinean and place him in the palace, which, according to his idea, was to become a historical mausoleum. The originality of the building is visible on all floors on which the eclectic style is diluted with the culture of Islam and Gothic, which causes delight even of modern society.

Moving through the Palacio Barolo building can be done using nine elevators. On its first floor you can see a huge hall, the ceiling of which is decorated with paintings. After decades of its existence, the building was destroyed, but the authorities decided to reconstruct it, which took place in 2009, which allowed to preserve this masterpiece of architecture to this day.
