San Nicolás (Buenos Aires)
Vorlage:Otheruses4 Vorlage:Buenos Aires Barrio
San Nicolás is one of the neighbourhoods of the Buenos Aires city in Argentina, in which most of the main banks and government institutions are located, as well as many offices. It's seldom referred to as San Nicolás, but usually as El Centro ("Centre" or "Downtown"), and the part east of the 9 de Julio Avenue is called Microcentro ("Micro-centre")
The limits of the neighbourhood are the Córdoba, Callao, Rivadavia, La Rábida Norte and Eduardo Madero avenues, and it holds 33,305 inhabitants. Its name comes from the San Nicolás Church erected in 1773 on the Corrientes Avenue, demolished when the works to expand the avenue started, and its place is now occupied by the Obelisk of Buenos Aires, on the 9 de Julio.
