Villar Residence

The Villar Residence, located in the Retiro neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a stunning 19th-century building originally commissioned by Colonel Reinaldo Villar. Designed by Swiss engineer Giuseppe Maraini, it features a unique twin-tower Italian castle style. Over the years, it underwent significant transformations, particularly in the late 1920s when it was remodeled into a French Neo-Gothic castle. This historic monument, recognized since 2001, is currently undergoing extensive renovations, making it an intriguing site for tourists and researchers interested in architectural history and cultural heritage.
