This Argentina stamp, issued in 1961 for the philtelistic exhibition Argentina 1962, depicts the main Catholic church in Buenos Aires - the Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
The Catedral Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, located in the city center in Plaza de Mayo, is one of principal historic landmarks of Argentinian capital. The Catedral Metropolitana was originally built in the end of the 16th century, although it has since undergone several changes and the current building was constructed in 1745. The long and varied history of the Cathedral can be seen through its diverse architecture, ranging from its neo-Classical façade designed to its 18th century Baroque-Rococo nave, dome and altars.
