views from a 1920's 100m skyscraper in BUENOS AIRES //heaven and hell!
BAROLO PALACE
designed by Palanti
Built 1919-1923
100m
The Façade (it's being restored)
The entrance hall, following Dante Alighieri's 'Divina Comedia' allegories, the first floor represents hell, with dragons on both sides of the vaults
The view towards purgatory (3rd floor). The picture was taken from the place where Palanti designed a tomb for Dante, whose ashes were supposed to be brought over from Italy to be buried here.
This is purgatory. Every floor has a similar lobby.
View from purgatory-
The views from the lighthouse, placed on the top of the dome (100 mts) .
..
An old office!
An old building accross the street!
