Nice to greet you! I want to share with you today a little bit about the Basilica Nuestra Señora del Pilar, during a tour I did in the Recoleta neighborhood on a cloudy afternoon in the city and for this occasion I could access the facilities of this cathedral, I could enter and capture what is inside it.
It is one of the few cathedrals that so far opens its doors, likewise I think that with the passage of time will be enabling many more parishes, churches or cathedrals where I can access and thus bring more content of this type to the community.
Un gusto saludarles! Quiero compartir con ustedes hoy un poco sobre la Basílica Nuestra Señora del Pilar, durante un recorrido que hice por el barrio de Recoleta en una tarde nublada en la ciudad y para esta ocasión pude acceder a las instalaciones de ésta catedral, pude entrar y capturar lo que hay dentro de ella.
Es una de las pocas catedral que hasta el momento abre sus puertas, de igual manera pienso que con el pasar del tiempo se estarán habilitando muchas más parroquias, iglesias o catedrales dónde podré acceder y así traer más contenido de este tipo a la comunidad.
Declared a National Historic Monument in 1942, this church is the second oldest in the city. Its construction began by the Italian architect Andrés Bianchi and was finished by the Italian religious architect Juan Bautista Prímoli and later inaugurated in 1732. The latter architect is recognized for having built several historical churches in Buenos Aires, such as the Cabildo of Buenos Aires, the Cathedral of Córdoba, the Basilica of San Francisco, among others.
Declarada Monumento histórico nacional en 1942, está iglesia es la segunda más antigua de la ciudad. Su construcción se inició por el arquitecto italiano Andrés Bianchi y fue terminada por el religioso y arquitecto italiano Juan Bautista Prímoli para posteriormente ser inaugurada en el año 1732. Este último arquitecto es reconocido por haber construido varias iglesias históricas de Buenos Aires, como por ejemplo El Cabildo de Buenos Aires, Catedral de Córdoba, Basílica de San Francisco, entre otras.
It is a building of the Basilica type, whose cult is Catholicism and in terms of architectural data we can highlight its baroque style, for its naturalism to highlight their figures, the typical sculptures of the Renaissance and how in this case in the interior of the cathedral highlight the clothing of chips sculptures, its brightness and visualization.
Es una edificación del tipo Basílica, el cual su culto es el catolicismo y en cuanto a los datos arquitectónicos podemos destacar su estilo barroco, por su naturalismo al destacar sus figuras, las esculturas típicas del renacimiento y la forma como en este caso en el interior de la catedral destacan la vestimenta de fichas esculturas, su luminosidad y visualización.
Once inside the facilities we can mention the altarpiece where the Virgin of the Pillar is centered, it is a masterpiece of baroque art which is the oldest that exists in Buenos Aires. It is supported on 6 columns and worked by hand.
Una vez estando dentro de las instalaciones podemos mencionar el retablo dónde se encuentra centrada la virgen del pilar, es una obra maestra de arte barroco la cual es el más antiguo que existe en Buenos Aires. Está apoyado sobre 6 columnas y trabajado a mano.
The front of the main altar comes from Upper Peru and is made of silver sheets worked with hammers. It is 3 meters long and 0.98 centimeters wide.
El frente del altar mayor proviene del alto Perú y está compuesto por láminas de plata trabajadas con martillos. Ésta mide 3 metros de largo y 0,98 centímetros de ancho.
Under this High Altar is buried a father, who was called Fray Francisco Altolaguirre, one of the Superiors of the Franciscan Congregation in 1774.
In addition, the basilica has several very important tombs, both historical and in sculptures.
The first wife of Juan Martín de Pueyrredón, Ignacio de Yrigoyen, Juan de Narbona, among others, were buried in this basilica.
Debajo de este Altar Mayor se encuentra sepultado un padre, quién se llamó Fray Francisco Altolaguirre, uno de los Superiores de la Congregación Franciscana de 1774.
Y además, la basílica cuenta con diferentes sepulcros importantísimos tanto históricos como en esculturas. Fueron enterrados en esta basílica la primera esposa de Juan Martín de Pueyrredón, Ignacio de Yrigoyen, Juan de Narbona, entre otros.
This is another sample of other altars where it expresses the baroque style in this type of art and decorations, for its figures, its protruding surfaces and hand carvings, covered with gold and silver. It is a beautiful cathedral to visit either for tourism or for the maximum believers to celebrate something of utmost importance to them.
To finish I leave you a photo of the exit view but in a wide angle lens perspective. Very happy to have been able to access the facilities of this historic monument and to be able to share this content with you in this community.

Para finalizar les dejo una foto de vista a la salida pero en una perspectiva de lente gran angular. Muy contento de haber podido acceder a las instalaciones de este monumento histórico y poder compartir este contenido con ustedes en esta comunidad.

Thank you very much for adding something to my post☺️ It is a very important basilica for the city and it seems to me also that many architectures here are very similar to those in Spain, they are very similar in terms of styles
