Museum of Spanish Art "Enrique Larreta"

This museum’s collection consists primarily of 16th and 17th century paintings, sculptures, furniture, ceramics and diverse objects representative of Spain. There are also medieval and early 20th century works. The collection belonged to Argentine writer and Hispanist Enrique Larreta, and is still housed in his old Belgrano estate. With the help of architect Martín Noel, Larreta endowed his house with a Spanish character, transforming it into a noble example of neocolonial architecture surrounded by a 7,000 square meter Andalusian garden.
