Discover the Culture

Mapa Art Space

It is a self-managed art project established in 2012 with a strong focus on art management and production. The space is known for showcasing individual and collective exhibitions by artists from our city and from other places. The pandemic prompted MAPA to also venture into a new exhibition experience through the Virtual Gallery “Caminos del Mapa” (MAPA Pathways). The first exhibition in this new format featured the works of photographer Eduardo Dubor. Currently, you can explore the impressive works of local artist Pablo Solo Díaz in the mentioned Virtual Gallery.

25 de Mayo Public Library

The 25 de Mayo Public Library possessed 900 volumes in 1929 and it received recognition from the Society for the Protection of Popular Libraries at that time. It now houses over 60,000 books of various genres on its shelves. Since its beginnings, the library has always been a permanent source of consultation for local students, whereas its members constantly borrow books for their reading pleasure.

Spanish Theater

In March 1925, the imposing building of the Sociedad Española witnessed Carlos Gardel’s performance alongside José Razzano.
The theater operated as a cinema for many years and numerous theatrical plays were performed in it, although after various periods, it fell into a state of abandonment. In 1991, the Municipality of Las Flores leased the theater and managed to restore it. Throughout its history, the old architectural structure has served as a stage for various Argentine and foreign cultural artistic expressions, public and political events, conferences, puppet shows, choirs, bands, school parties, exhibitions, and student competitions. With a capacity for 537 spectators, the Teatro Español de Las Flores is today one of the most emblematic buildings of our community.

Del Borde Theater

Do not miss the diverse range of outstanding theatrical productions, such as the Annual Del Borde Theater Encounter. This event brings together different artistic groups from all over the country and abroad to participate of and enjoy the different proposals offered by the theatrical space in Las Flores. Due to its positive impact on the positioning and development of theater in our city, the Annual Del Borde Theater Encounter has been declared “Of Cultural Interest” by the National Secretary of Culture, the Cultural Institute of the Province of Buenos Aires, and the Honorable City Council of Las Flores.

Located on Rivadavia Avenue, the Nuestra Señora del Carmen parish church, the Municipal Palace and the building of School Nº 21, make up a group of great architectural value, built by the Italian architect Don Pedro Petrocchi. These three buildings, with the fountain and its cobblestone street, testify to the political, religious and educational history of our city.

Red Hall

Come and visit this architectural construction of strong patrimonial value. Designed and conceived to be like one of the great halls of the Palace of Versailles, the Red Hall of the Municipality of Las Flores was thought as a place for the reception and conduction of important events of a city that was projected to be great and progressive.

The railroad in our city got to employ more than 1,200 people and the urban center started growing at the pace of a means of transport that brought growth on its tracks. This can be witnessed when visiting the surroundings of the station with its buildings, hotels, restaurants and other businesses.
