Torre de los Ingleses(English Tower) is a monument located in Retiro neigbourhood in Buenos Aires. It is situated in the Fuerza Aerea Argentina plaza.
The Torre de los Ingleses was built by british residents in Argentina to commemorate the centenary of the May Revolution that lead to the independence of Argentina.
The construction was conducted by the Hopkins and Gardom architects and almost all the materials used for construction were brought from England. The same happened with the technical personnel responsible for construction.
The Torre de los Ingleses is a Palladian style tower, as the trend in the late sixteenth century in Britain, is located on a platform with four access stairs. Over the main entrance facing the west, and on other sides of the building, where there is an alternate triglyphs frieze and metopes decorated with suns and different emblems of the British Empire. Among others, you can recognize the flower of the Thistle, the Rose of the House of Tudor, the Red Dragon of Wales and the Shamrock of Ireland.
The height of the tower is 75.50 m and has eight floors. At 35 m there is a clock, which has four quadrants of 44 cm diameter each of which was conducted in English opaline. On the quadrants are five bronze bells tolling in which the quarter hours mimics that of Westminster Abbey. The bell weighs about seven tons.
The tower is surmounted by an octagonal dome covered with copper plates and steel trusses on top of which rotates a vane that represents a three-masted frigate of the Elizabethan era. The chimes that mark the quarter hours weighing about 3 tons, and mimics, as the Westminster Abbey.
On the entrance door are the arms of Argentina and Great Britain, and a phrase that says "the great people of Argentina, the British residents, health, May 25, 1810-1910.
During the war with Great Britain in the 80s, the name of the tower was changed to Monumental Tower, but everybody in Buenos Aires still calls the tower Torre de los Ingleses.
It is nice walk to visit the tower and the square where it is located.
