Church of Santa Felicitas
The Church of Santa Felicitas (Iglesia de Santa Felicitas) is a breathtaking Eclectic and Neo-Gothic sanctuary located in the Barracas neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Erected in 1876 by the grieving parents of Felicitas Guerrero—a young, wealthy socialite tragically murdered by a jealous suitor in 1872—the church stands as a monument to heartbreak and tragic romance. Known for its dark interior beauty, imported German stained glass, and hidden tunnels, the sanctuary is renowned throughout Argentina for legends surrounding Felicitas' ghost, who is said to weep near the altar on the anniversary of her death.
