Estación Once

Estación Once is a large train station in central Buenos Aires, Argentina. The facility is located in the barrio of Balvanera immediately north of a large public square called Plaza Miserere. The full official name of the terminal is Estación Once de Septiembre, Spanish for "September 11th Station". In this case, the date of September 11th refers to that of the death of celebrated Argentine President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, who died on September 11, 1888. In honour of Sarmiento, a former teacher, this date is recognized as Teachers' Day in Argentina.

Estación Once handles both long-distance and local passenger trains. The publicly owned railway company Ferrobaires operates trains over four principal rail lines which fan out west over surrounding Buenos Aires Province. Destinations include Pehuajó, Bragado, and points between. Additionally, the commuter rail company Trenes de Buenos Aires operates multiple hourly trains into the Buenos Aires suburbs along the branches of its Sarmiento Line to destinations including Moreno Partido, Luján, Lobos, and Mercedes. The station is accessible by numerous public bus lines and by the A line of the Buenos Aires Metro subway via its "Plaza Miserere" stop. Estación Once will also be served by the subway's new H line when construction is completed not earlier than 2007.

Camelot? Almost at Plaza Miserere and how strange can building be? Also an example of the position of the sun and the difficulty it gave.

Plaza Miserere

I call it misery square :D On a side street very close to it is the disco (República Cromañón) that burned so badly on December 30 2004 with so many casualties. I can still hear the ambulances going on and off even in our neighborhood.

The Plaza de Miserere is one of the main plazas of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is located in the heart of the Balvanera neighborhood. It was supposed to be the name of the Line A—Buenos Aires Metro station located below it, but the station is more popularly known as Plaza Once, and is located alongside the station Once de y Septiembre of the Ferrocarril Sarmiento (Sarmiento railroad).

The plaza lies on a site where forerly lay a mansion known as the Quinta de Miserere. Around 1814, it was known as Mataderos de Miserere (slaughterhouse of Miserere), Hueco de los corrales (Hole of the corrals) in 1817, and Mercado del Oeste (Western Market) by 1850. It was also known as Mercado (or Plaza) 11 de septiembre (Market or plaza 11th of September). The name Plaza Miserere dates from 1947.

The plaza was the site of skirmishes during the British invasions of 1806. It was the site of the defeat of the troops under Santiago de Liniers during the second invasions of 1807.

The market functioned until 1882, when Torcuato de Alvear (father of president Torcuato de Alvear) began the demarkation of the plaza. In 1913, it underwent an important remodeling when the subway station was built beneath it.

The current design is from 1923, the mausoleum of Bernardino Rivadavia was added in 1932, where his ashes remain despite his wish that the not stay in Argentina.
