Monument to the Postman, Buenos Aires [ENG/ESP]

The city of Buenos Aires is full of monuments of all kinds and in many neighborhoods. These monuments are usually mostly sculptures or statues and are located in squares. A couple of days ago I was walking around an area in the neighborhood of San Nicolas known as 'Paseo del Bajo' and I was photographing the surroundings, the architecture and the urbanism.

In this place is located the Kirchner cultural center and in front of it you can see the moment to the letter carrier. It makes a lot of sense since this cultural center in the past was the headquarters of the central post office.

As many of you know in the past, one way to communicate was through letters and there was a job for this, the letter carriers who traveled around the city to deliver them to their destination. I think it is very important to pay tribute to the people who did this job. I really did not know about this monument even though I have visited the place several times.

In these photos you can see the architecture in the background, the emblematic and historic Casa Rosada (each government house), old domes and behind the letter carrier the old building of the central post office, now the Kirchner cultural center.

I was also looking for some information about the sculptor because it seems relevant to me to rule out who was the author of the work, in what year it was inaugurated but I could not find this data, perhaps because I did not look hard enough or because it is possible that it is very difficult to obtain this information.

If you are from Buenos Aires and know more information about it, I would love to know this information.

Without more to add, I hope you enjoyed these photos that I share with you. I send you a big hug 😊
