The
first inhabitants named this neighbourhood after
a hermit where spiritual retreats were carried out.
Later, its name was also related to the huge train
station that operates in the place, from where one
could travel to the different points of the country.
At present, Retiro brings together one of the city’s
largest squares, luxurious hotels and numerous office
buildings. It is a neighbourhood in constant growth
and evolution.
Retiro has a bus station with buses running to the
rest of the country, and trains and buses to the
different zones in Buenos Aires.
Just three decades ago, the zone called Catalinas Norte
(located between Córdoba, Eduardo Madero and
Leandro N. Alem Avenues and San Martín Street)
began its urbanisation process. Today, it has intelligent
buildings that draw together the offices of the most
important multinational companies in the country.
