The city's Barrio Norte is a not-to-miss shopping circuit and is one of the most elegant and charming areas within the city's expansive avenues. The Recoleta is a wonderful walking area that combines upscale stores, restaurants and boutiques. Plaza Lavalle, also known as the "Courts Area," was set up in 1822 and when facing it, one can see one of the most beautiful towers standing, the Massué watchtower. This art-nouveau work was the only piece that survived the demolition of the building constructed by architect Alfredo Massué.
