About Palermo Soho
What are the main landmarks in Palermo Soho?
Palermo Soho keeps churches of three traditions. The Basílica del Espíritu Santo anchors one plaza, while the Saint George Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral rises along Avenida Scalabrini Ortiz and the Armenian Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral serves the community that settled this corner of Palermo. Spires mark the skyline.
Between them the streets fill with galleries, design studios and cafés.
What is the history of Palermo Soho?
Palermo Soho grew out of the old Palermo Viejo core. The quarter took shape as low houses and workshops filled the blocks of Palermo, later drawing design studios and galleries that gave the streets around the Basílica del Espíritu Santo their present cast within Buenos Aires. Immigrant congregations left their mark.
Armenian and Orthodox families raised churches here.
Where is Palermo Soho?
Palermo Soho occupies the low-rise heart of Palermo. The quarter fills a grid of leafy streets and cobbled corners inside the wider Palermo barrio, set back from the Río de la Plata that edges the northern reach of Buenos Aires, with Avenida Scalabrini Ortiz drawing one of its outer lines. The river lies to the north.
Flat ground carries the streets.
