2024 - Buenos Aires - 186 of 195 - Galerías Pacífico

            Murals on the ceiling of Galerías Pacífico central hall.

Galerías Pacífico, built in the late 19th century, is a traditional shopping centre in Buenos Aires. 

n the manner of the Bon Marché of Paris, at the end of the 19th century, Francisco Seeber and Emilio Bunge created the Bon Marché Argentino. 

The mall was to be a place offering the latest expressions of world fashion. 

The building was built, with crisscrossing streets, glass vaults and a spacious and elegant central dome. 

After the economic crisis of 1890, in 1908, a construction sector was sold to the Buenos Aires al Pacifico railroad.

In 1945, architects Jorge Aslan and Héctor Ezcurra planned the remodelling of the building, separating the shopping gallery from the railroad offices and including the murals in the central dome.

In 1946 five muralist painters captured their works on the 450m2 surface that occupies the central dome of Galerías Pacífico. 

The artists Berni, Castagnino, Colmeiro, Spilimbergo and Urruchúa agreed to create a decoration that would achieve an iconographic construction of the primary values and sociocultural practices common in various cultures, such as family and contact with nature.

In 1989, the building was declared a National Historic Landmark and sold to Galerías Pacífico S.A. and 18 May, 1992, the magnificent Commercial and Cultural Center was opened.
