El Ateneo Grand Splendid

About

A former theatre in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, converted into one of the world's most celebrated bookshops. The ornate 1919 auditorium has been transformed into a multi-level bookshop while preserving the original stage (now a café), frescoed ceilings, painted balconies, and opera boxes — regularly listed among the most beautiful bookstores in the world and a must-see Buenos Aires landmark.
