The site is located at Balcarce 433, in the San Telmo area. It is located in a historic building in Buenos Aires, on land that since 1606 was occupied by the Order of Santo Domingo (whose convent is located on the same block).
Its antiquity, its architecture, and the history it contains make it today a unique place in the entire city of Buenos Aires.
Preserving the characteristics of the buildings prior to the first half of the 19th century, it was remodeled in 1752 to convert it into a merchandise warehouse. In 1850 the English architect Edward Taylor built the building that would later become a customs warehouse.
Through excavations carried out in its basements, already forgotten customs of colonial society have been reconstructed.
Touring the place will make you feel part of the history of this emblematic building of the City where Spaniards, Creoles, immigrants, singers and dancers of recognised world fame have paraded.
