Palacio de Aguas Corrientes
A 19th-century water pumping station, Palacio de Aguas Corrientes still houses some offices and customer assistance centers of the local water company, as well as a small and quirky waterworks museum. The French Renaissance palace is topped with a tin roof, covered with glazed, multi-color tiles and enameled bricks. The small museum on the second floor boasts a collection of tiles, ancient sanitary wares, ceramic pipe joints, huge water valves, plans and scale models, as well as reconstructions of old offices. Join a guided tour for a glimpse of huge water tanks and the building's inner workings.

The architecture houses so much intricate and noble detail. The building is an awesome work of art. This might very well be the nicest building in Buenos Aires.

Absolutely astonishing building with a beautiful Terracotta finish and lots of symbolic images. Quite a breathtaking view... on the outside. As the name suggests, it's a Water "Museum", as in it was actually just a huge water tank used to supply water to Porteños on the the Late 1890's and early 1900's. In the outside is quite grim and old, the metal is all corroded and it feels it could collapse at any time. Just stick with the outside part, and take photos around the whole block

Gorgeous outside and fascinating inside. Most beautiful building in Buenos Aires. Now, in Nov. 2021 you must ask for a time to visit by going to the website. They will send you an email with available times. Once you arrive you are part of a small group. Tours are in Spanish and are free.
