Abasto Shopping Center

Abasto in Buenos Aires is built on the framework of one of the most representative buildings in the city. Mercado del Abasto opened the shop in the 19th century. He was the main supplier of fruits and vegetables in Buenos Aires at that time.

Such is the magnitude and originality of this building, that Albert Einstein himself when visiting Buenos Aires was beset by its design and civil engineering characteristics. The outer structure and art deco style of the former style remained intact. A new lighting system was set in order to highlight the tremendous arches in the external façades.

It was renowned in 1998 as shopping mall. It is the biggest of its kind in capital. It has 120,000 square meters of area. It is a four- storey building with more than 250 stores, a food area that hosts 1,500 people, 12 movie theatres, a fun fair with a Fortune's wheel and the Children's museum, unique in Latin America.

Abasto Shopping Mall triggered the re- birth of El Abasto, one of the most traditional neighborhoods in Buenos Aires.
The mall attracts every age.

Hours : Monday through Sunday from 10am to 10pm
