The Obelisk of Buenos Aires (Obelisco de Buenos Aires) is a modern monument placed at the heart of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Porteños refer to it simply as El Obelisco.
The obelisk is one of the main icons of the city, and a venue for various cultural activities (usually sponsored by the city government) and other events. It is the traditional gathering spot for sports fans to celebrate when their favourite team wins, especially from the national football team, often resulting in colourful events that attract media coverage. It was also used by several acrobatic troupes to perform high-wire acts.

(July 9, 1816).The avenue runs roughly one kilometer to the west of the Rio de la Plata waterfront, from the Retiro district in the north to Constitución station in the south.
