I walk past this book store every Thursday on my way to classes downtown. It is the oldest bookstore in Buenos Aires (and very possibly the continent, although I'm not sure), founded in 1785. It has also been named one of the six most beautiful bookstores in the world.
Although I've traveled in Europe, which is full of old buildings, and Asia, whose civilization is millennia older than ours, it still amazes me to think that this one store is about the same age as my entire country. (Well, my entire government, anyway.)
