About Comuna 4
What are the main landmarks in Comuna 4?
Its museums do the work. Comuna 4 gathers a run of neighbourhood collections across the southern side of Buenos Aires, from the Museo Manoblanca and the Naum Knop Foundation to the Museum of the Old Corrales of Parque Patricios, each tied to the streets around it. The Parque Olímpico de la Juventud anchors its open edge.
Anyone crossing this part of Buenos Aires measures the walk between the museum clusters of Parque Patricios and the athletics ground of the Parque Olímpico de la Juventud that closes off the far side of Comuna 4.

The borough grew from the old stockyards. Comuna 4 carries that past in the Museum of the Old Corrales of Parque Patricios, which keeps the memory of the cattle corrales that once worked this southern edge of Buenos Aires before the district turned to housing and light industry. Its museums preserve the shift.
Across the decades the neighbourhood collections multiplied, from the Museo Manoblanca to the Naum Knop Foundation, each recording a chapter of how Parque Patricios and the streets around it changed as Buenos Aires spread south.
