En esta CALLE de Buenos Aires enterraron a los SOLDADOS BRITÁNICOS de las INVASIONES INGLESAS

Pasaje 5 de Julio is a little-known street in Buenos Aires. Located between Avenida Belgrano and Venezuela, it's one of the hidden and less-traveled stretches of the San Telmo neighborhood. However, this small alleyway holds a wealth of history, as it was there that thousands of British soldiers who attacked Buenos Aires during the British invasions of 1806 and 1807 were buried. After fierce civil-military resistance (which included buckets of boiling oil thrown by the city's residents from their balconies), the British entrenched themselves in the Santo Domingo Convent, which is still in operation today. After its surrender, the bodies were buried in what was then the convent's garden. A year later, following Bernardino Rivadavia's ecclesiastical reform, the land was expropriated and converted into what is now known as Pasaje 5 de Julio. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you want more content about travel and tourism, subscribe here or follow me on Instagram:   / doblecturismo   #tourism #history #santelmo
