One of the main attractions of San Telmo. It is famous for being the narrowest house in all of Buenos Aires. It is only two and a half meters wide. It was part of a construction from the 1820s.
It is believed that these small homes were built for freed slaves, who were granted land adjacent to that of their former masters. This is the only example that remains in Buenos Aires.
It is said that one of the freed slaves who lived there managed to build a prosperous life and became a successful merchant. This small space holds the echoes of a past that marked the diversity and growth of Buenos Aires.
