In one of the posts from our weblog "British invasions" discussed the topography of the city they found the British in their invasion attempts. It transcribed the brief description we did at the time:
grid pattern, square blocks of wide sidewalks, the city's buildings were grouped in a triangular sector, based on the river, east, bounded by the current street Chile south and north current Cordova Street, with its apex at the intersection of the current Rivadavia y Libertad. Two small rivers, impassable in the rainy season, formed the boundaries of colonial Buenos Aires. South Chile, Zanjón de Vera (also called "the Hospital because the hospital ran alongside the parents of Bethlehem, in the street Defense and Venezuela, on the north, the bush ...

The Buenos Aires of the viceroyalty was wedged between these two streams (with the Manso) made up the natural drainage of the city. While the northern boundary of Matorras Zanjon is hidden beneath the modern street Sergeants Three, something has been Zanjón Vera or Hospital or also called, Granados (by a local family known for their cupcakes) and it is the reason for this post, comment on our visit to El Zanjón in Defense 700.

Defending 755 was a tenement, in the building Miguens family who lived there since 1830 to the yellow fever of 1871. Early last century, stood in the place mentioned tenement with commercial galleries, abandoned apartment building in 1974. The place had become a garbage dump until the 90 foreign investment group bought the place to open a restaurant.

owners met with surprise that after the mountains of garbage, the place had collapsing floors, allowing you to see tunnels and other underground constructions such as water wells and cisterns. As reconverted the project, dropped the idea of \u200b\u200bthe restaurant and turned the building into a historical preservation site. That is today "The Zanjón" a place where for a $ 20 can visit the preserved structures of the old tenement and descend into the tunnels recovered, mainly for the piping of Zanjón of Granados.

recommend making a day visit on Sunday week because, given the numbers of visitors (most tourists), shortens the half-hour tour limited places to be visited.

The site data can be read at:
