Partido Lomas de Zamora: Find hotels

Looking for a hotel in Partido Lomas de Zamora and want to choose your destination based on specific interests? In Lomas de Zamora, the town’s founding center is laid out around Plaza Victorio Grigera. The plaza is designated a “Lugar Histórico Nacional” (National Historic Site). This designation connects the town’s founding history with the plaza’s national historic recognition.

Plaza and Palacio Municipal

The Palacio Municipal is also designated a “Monumento Histórico Nacional” (National Historic Monument). The two designations refer to different things: for Plaza Victorio Grigera, the focus is its role in the town’s founding center; for the Palacio Municipal, it is the building’s designation as a national historic monument. This distinction helps you understand two different historical points of interest in Lomas de Zamora, rather than treating the plaza and municipal building as the same kind of cultural heritage.

Museo Americanista and Family Activities

The Museo Americanista is located at Manuel Castro 254 in Lomas de Zamora. It was established in 1958 with a collection of archaeological, ethnographic, and folkloric objects donated by Roberto Pertierra y Polo. The collection’s history connects its founding year with the donor’s name and the different collection areas. Guided visits are available for groups. As visiting hours may change, check the current hours before planning a group visit.

Plaza Victorio Grigera also has a municipal carousel for family recreation. This adds a different focus to the plaza’s historical significance. The carousel’s operating hours may also change; check the current hours before your visit.
