Dramatards, !catholics in January I was in La Plata, that's the capital of the Buenos Aires province as the City of Buenos Aires is kind of like the District of Columbia being a separate entity.

La Plata is a planned city founded in 1880 by the Buenos Aires governor Dardo Rocha.

The cathedral is located in from of the central square and is dedicated to "Our of Lady of our Sorrows". It was designed in a neogothic style by the architect Pedro Benoit who was also an urbanist and developer of the layout of La Plata.
