Una vez una chica se enamoró de un tipo imposible y mandó a construir una torre altísima que impidiera ver la iglesia donde él se casaría con otra.
Esta vez otra chica escribe esto pensando en vos y desea que una torre altísima se pare en frente tuyo por tiempo indefinido mientras dure el olvido.

ARGENTINIDAD
🇦🇷 A Argentinian Historial Sim Download A few weeks ago my historical tumblr with things related from my country took a lot of relevance, thanks to many resources I realized that there are many people who are interested in having several argentinian sims in their game, so this is for them and everyone interested in the history of different countries (or who need some sim for their game lol).
[More photos, info and download below]
These sims are originally from my Women's Day post inspired by female historical figures from different decades in Argentina. They are doctors, lawyers, writers and much more. But there is a bonus included which is two new sims = Corina Kavannagh and Lola Mora.
Tumblr media
Corina Kavanagh. 1890-1984.
Corina Kavanagh was an Argentinian rancher known for the Kavanagh Building , the tallest concrete skyscraper in Argentina and South America at the beginning of the last century. This building has a legend that says it was built because Corina fell in love with a man of the Anchorena family, one of the most illustrious surnames in Argentina. The Anchorena's were an aristocratic and landowning dynasty with a Basilica which they could see from their mansion. Corina had a wealthy family but they looked down on her as a "nouveau riche" with no lineage, so the Anchorenas prohibited her from having a relationship with one of their members. Corina bought the land between the basilica and the mansion and built 120 meters of concrete so that they could not see the church. Since 1936, the only way for the Anchorena family to visit their Basilica was through the Corina Kavanagh passage.
Tumblr media
(Lola) Dolores Candelaria Mora. 1866-1936.
The most flattered and discussed Argentine sculptor of her time, the artist who scandalized the society of her time, died in poverty and was vindicated by time. She began studying portrait and drawing in Tucumán and then obtained a scholarship in 1896 to perfect herself in Rome where she changed drawing for sculpture. There she was highly praised and in 1900 the artist decided to return to the country, where she obtained several state commissions, including the Fountain of the Nereids in 1903. She also faced controversy due to the nudity of her figures, and in her workshop it was common to find her working with pants on the structures of the sculptures.

Hi! First of all, I love your cc, eventhough I play the sims 3. I wanted to give you this information that you might find useful. In the Errázuriz-Alvear palace in Buenos Aires (national museum lf decoaritve arts) there's a clock that belonged to Marie Antoinette and was given to her as a wedding present in 1770 and was placed in her bedchamber. Ot was sold during the revolution, bought by Corina Kavanagh and donated to the museum, I'll send the picture.
The clock in question that you did show me in another message but that I will repost here so that everyone can see what we are talking about :
Tumblr media
was actually given to Louis-Auguste the Dauphin(for his wedding with Marie-Antoinette) and placed in his bedchamber, when he became King he decided to place it in his royal apartments namely in the Counsel Cabinet and afterwards in the Antichambre a l’Oeil de Bœuf, it isn't mentioned in the general inventories by appartement(Archives Nationales O1 3469) but appears however in several special clock inventories(Archives Nationales O1 3510 and 3371).
Now do I plan on making it? All I can tell you is that I already started working on the panelling of the Counsel Cabinet ;) :

Remember… in 2007 Ed O’Donnell, a young seventh generation farmer wanted to diversify as farming was looking bleak at the time. He saw a niche in the market for an Irish hand cooked cooked crisp and decided to make crisps from the potatoes grown on his farm. Ed believed it was important that the product and flavours were Irish and artisan so he sourced local food producers to give the crisps fantastic individual flavours. In June 2010 O’DONNELLS Crisps were born!

Szállásunk egy kiváló butikhotelben van a város Retiro nevű kerületében. Egykoron szerzetesek laktak errefelé (innen ered a név), ma 3 pályaudvar sorakozik egymás mellett (utolsó fotókon az impresszív Mitre 1915-ös impresszív fogadócsarnoka látható). Visszafelé haladva az összeállításban szemközt az egy évvel később átadott Torre de los Ingleses áll, amit a 40 évvel ezelőtti Falkland-szigeteki (azaz Malvinas) konfliktus óta hivatalosan átneveztek Torre Monumentalra. Az angolok ajándéka volt amúgy az 1810-es argentin májusi forradalom emlékére: minden egyes eleme Nagy-Britanniából érkezett. Mögötte áll - és két fotón külön kiemeltem - a Corina Kavanagh-ról, egy gazdag ír örökösnőről elnevezett 120 méteres épület, ami 1935-ös felhúzásakor nemcsak a legmagasabb dél-amerikai felhőkarcoló, de egyben a legmodernebb is volt. És mindez a Plaza San Martín körül található, ahol lépten-nyomon hivatásos tömeges kutyasétáltatókba botlunk a nap főként délelőtti szakában.

Edificio Kavanagh, tal vez no sea el edificio más lindo, tampoco el más emblemático de Buenos Aires, pero su desmesura me fascina. Se destaca aún en tercera línea después de Galerías Pacífico y el edificio ex Harrod's [ foto 5 ] Un poco de su historia. Su impulsora fue Corina Kavanagh, miembro de distinguida familia porteña, quien convocó al reconocido estudio Sánchez, Lagos y de la Torre con el fin de construir un edificio de alquiler destinado a la clase más acomodada de la ciudad. Se reservó para ella misma el departamento del piso 14, con una amplia terraza mirador sobre la plaza y excelentes vistas al horizonte del río. La imagen de proa orientada hacia el Río de la Plata y su forma escalonada se logran a partir de un inteligente juego de volúmenes yuxtapuestos de diferentes alturas, con terrazas y miradores, Su tono gris perla y los estriados que destacan y agudizan su esbeltez definen una torre de refinada belleza, en la que se articulan principios Racionalistas y Art-Decó. Sus 120 metros de altura, en los que se disponen 31 pisos con 105 viviendas, fueron construidos en un tiempo record: algo menos de dos años. En su época fue la estructura de hormigón armado más alta de Sudamérica. La obra contó con los mayores adelantos tecnológicos y de confort disponibles en su tiempo: aire acondicionado central, ascensores y palieres privados y una instalación eléctrica que podía abastecer a 80.000 habitantes. No dispone de portero eléctrico; las visitas se deben anunciar en Recepción. En 1999 fue declarado Patrimonio Mundial de la Arquitectura de la Modernidad. En 1994 fue distinguido por la Asociación Estadounidense de Ingeniería Civil como hito histórico internacional; es Monumento Histórico Nacional.

Buenos Aires
The first stop of my trip is done and it was a promising start. Vancouver waved goodbye as only Vancouver can: With grey skies and plenty of rain. But a bit more than 24 hours and two stopovers later Argentina welcomed me with bright sunshine on a hot afternoon. Oh how much I missed this. The remainder of my first day turned out to be pretty lousy but in hindsight I blame my extreme fatigue for that (I didn't catch any sleep during the flight).
First thing I wanted to do after I checked in to my hostel was to get some cash and buy some food. The first two ATMs I tried didn't give me any money though. Everything on the screen was in Spanish, so I didn't really understand what the error message was saying. No problem I thought, then I'll pay for my food with my credit card. The first supermarket I went to didn't accept my Visa though and I had to leave confused, hungry and still empty-handed. Fortunately I managed to find one that did - but the process was quite laborious: They had to see my passport and didn't have these fancy electronic machines to transact the payment. I had to sign a receipt instead. This wasn't a surprise to me, I've read about this procedure before. But going through it for the first time when you're basically just buying some bread and butter just changes your perception. I was tired, I was overwhelmed, I just went to bed and hoped things would get better. Luckily they did.
There weren't many people in the hostel, but I managed to find a guy who explained the money situation in Argentina a little bit to me. Skip a few paragraphs if you don't wanna know. First of all, in Argentina cash is king (am I back in Germany?). Also the country is suffering from inflation - a lot. As a result, locals try to save their money in US dollars. All this shemozzle means that a few things are happening:
ATMs regularly run out of money during the day
You can't withdraw more than 4,000 pesos in one transaction (currently equals AUD 100 or 60 EUR)
You can't withdraw more than 8,000 pesos in one day
You are being charged between 300 and 600 pesos for every withdrawal (thankfully my Australian bank rebates these fees)
The government is making it hard for locals to exchange money and there are a lot of limitations in place
On top of that out of the two ATM networks here, one simply won't give me any cash. Ever. I tried many times. So far with the other ATM network my success rate was 50-50. I also found out that quite a few places actually accept credit card payments. You simply need to know where to go. My strategy now is to do little payments in cash and larger payments with credit card and I generally try to stay away from Argentine pesos as much as possible. You feel SO much better once you understand this stuff and can put a strategy in place.
Let's get back to Buenos Aires - the Paris of South America. This is actually true, a lot of buildings look very European and the majority of them look very French to me. The reason for that is quite funny, too: During it's best time (Argentina was the third richest country once), people wanted to differentiate themselves from all the other cities in South America. The rich travelled to Europe on a regular basis and when they came back, they tore down their buildings and decided to replicate all sorts of things they saw in Italy or France.
Tumblr media
Teatro Colón
Well, rich humans just do super weird things when they are bored and it's quite apparent here when you dive a little into the history of this city. The most spectacular story I came across was the one about the church Basílica del Santísimo Sacramento. First of all only European material was used to build it. 100%. Every doorknob came all the way across the ocean. Then there is the motivation behind it: Mercedes Castellanos de Anchorena really, really wanted to be noble - nobody in Argentina was noble at that time. So she decided to build this church just across the road from where she was living in a decadent palace. She gave it to the church and ding - the Pope granted her a noble title. But the crazy story doesn't stop there. There was another rich woman called Corina Kavanagh who was the lover of one of Mercedes' brothers. Apparently Mercedes prevented them from getting married. Corina wasn't happy about that and she knew that Mercedes loved to see that church of hers from her balcony. So Corina went and bought the land right in front of the church, decided to put a high apartment building on it and block the view for Mercedes. At that time, this building was also the highest building in South America and became quite an iconic landmark for Buenos Aires. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Tumblr media
A church that makes you noble
I spent three days in total in the capital and it turned out to be the right amount of time. The city is quite big, very modern and I walked most of the time. First I explored San Telmo which is the oldest part of Buenos Aires. Lots of cafes and antique shops can be found on these old cobblestone streets. I also found some nice street art and the narrowest home - not wider than two doors basically. And it’s called La Casa Mínima. Spanish can be quite amusing.
Tumblr media
Tiny house - not a new phenomenon
I continued strolling along Plaza de Mayo which is THE city square. On one end you find a big pink building which one might know from a speech held by a person called Madonna Evita.
Tumblr media
Casa Rosada
For the rest of the day I decided to walk along a famous shopping street in the quest for one my most important purchase of the whole trip: A new pair of Havaianas. After finding them, I finished the afternoon with my first dulce de leche ice cream. Spoiler: There will be an extra paragraph about the food.
On day two I was mainly exploring Recoleta. This is where the posh people live and it was by far the cleanest area in Buenos Aires. It's also where I picked up the stories above. I learned a lot about the Falklands war, too and it made me hate Margaret Thatcher even more. The whole thing is still an important topic for Argentinians and during elections candidates are still being asked what their position is in regards to the Islas Malvinas. That whole conflict and how it came about left a huge scar in the nation's heart and it's still far from being processed.
I finished the day checking out the famous Recoleta cemetery. It was cruel and impressive at the same time. I'm always amazed when I go to cemeteries outside of Germany, they are usually so different. I think the correct term to use is "monumental cemetery", whilst in Germany "lawn cemeteries" are more common. Similar to what I've seen in Paris and London this cemetery is structured like a little town with street names and stuff. There are impressive monuments everywhere, some in really good shape, others sadly falling apart. Of course I had to go to Evita's grave which is actually quite easy to find - don't let tour operators fool you. Yes, there are cemetery tours up to 2 hours long. Now to the cruel part: I did a little research into how the remains of Evita and the national hero José de San Martín (there are statues of him everywhere) were treated and boy oh boy, humans can be so shitty to each other. Even when they're already dead. Both of them were basically constantly moved around, buried upside down, their coffins put in an angle... and all because they believed in things or did things in their life that other people didn't approve of.
Tumblr media
I see dead people
On my last day I went North and explored the neighbourhood of Palermo. Apart from the usual stuff (shopping, restaurants, cafes...) there were also two museum in this area that sounded interesting: The Evita museum and a place called MALBA. The Evita museum obviously gives you a deep insight into Eva Peron's life. Very informative and nicely done. MALBA is an art museum in a pretty cool building. One of the exhibitions was quite interactive and fun.
Tumblr media
MALBA
One of the things I missed the most on all three days was water! I have no idea how the citizens of Buenos Aires survive these hot summers without access to a natural body of water. There were some little pools that were totally crowded and even though it looks like the city would be by the sea, it's actually at the mouth of River Plate which is definitely not feasible for swimming as it is super silty.
One of the last things I have to write about is the food. I was looking forward to try the Argentine cuisine and so far I haven't been disappointed at all. In fact, if I continue eating like I did in the last few days I will very soon look like the guy in the illustration. This is the stuff I've tried so far:
Steak My favourite cut so far is called bife de chorizo. They sometimes put egg on it which makes we wonder if the dish then qualifies as breakfast.
Tumblr media
Yum!
Pizza The difference to Italian pizza is that Argentinians like to put loads and loads of cheese and olives on their pizza. As a person who usually puts extra cheese on their frozen pizza, I surely won't complain about this.
Empanada Should be renamed to "pockets of gold". Small, fried dough pockets stuffed  with... well... meat! Prepare me a bath of Empanadas and I will swim in it the whole day.
Helado Argentinian ice cream. Coming from a country where I was struggling to find really good ice cream, pretty much every ice cream I had in Buenos Aires so far was a gazillion times better.
Tumblr media
Also yum!
Alfajores A type of biscuit: Dulce de leche sandwiched between two crumbly cookies. Not my favourite but still a lot better than bloody Oreos.
Medialunas Like a croissant but a bit smaller and denser. I think I prefer them over croissants because they are less messy.
Mate (the tea) I'm not entirely sure yet what I should think about this drink. It will surely get a separate blog post at some point as it it closely linked to a whole social event with a mate etiquette etc. Stay tuned!
Short version: I think I'm in food heaven and it will be hard to continue with my one or two veggie days a week strategy. There is still a lot more to try and I can't wait to participate in my first Asado.
Tumblr media
Tango tango
All in all I would say that I enjoyed my time in Buenos Aires. I felt pretty safe, the weather was great and the food was to die for. It would have been nice to have a few more people in the hostel (on my last day we were down to three) but this will probably change now that I'm on my way to Patagonia where it's peak season. I'll be in cold Ushuaia for a week or so before gradually going up North again.

Cuenta la leyenda, que Corina Kavanagh era una mujer proveniente de una familia de “nuevos ricos”, por su sangre no corría linaje patricio. Se sabía que mantenía una historia de amor con el hijo de Mercedes Castellanos de Anchorena ( mujer que se oponía a esa relación ). Corina se enteró y mandó a edificar el imponente edificio Kavanagh, con una sola intención: tapar completamente la visual de la iglesia preferida de Mercedes Anchorena. Hoy en dia, si alguien quiere mirar la actual basílica del Santísimo Sacramento, debe pasar por el pasaje "Corina Kavanagh" #city #BuenosAires #citylimitless #vsco #vscocam #vscofilm #latergram #sunset #natgeotravel #trip #travel #empty #all_shots #natgeo #nikon #canon #instagram #instagrames #igers #igworldclub #ig_argentina #ig_buenosaires #visitbuenosaires #visitargentina #huntgram #jj (en Retiro, Buenos Aires)

Corina Kavanagh era una terrateniente de Argentina, tenia tierras y por eso tenia dinero. Un dia se enamoro de un chico de otra familia muy adinerada de Buenos Aires un Anchorena. Su amor es otro de los tantos no correspondidos ya que la madre Anchorena rechazaba su union y obligo a su hijo a casarse con otra mujer. Corina rechaza, dolida pero con dinero, vende su parte de la herencia en vida y busca venganza. Esta historia me fascina no se si porque es un mito sobre la ciudad que mas amo o porque si representa uno de los edificios que mas admiro de mi ciudad. Creo que en realidad pienso que es porque me veo como Corina una eterna rechazada, que en vez de mandar a construir un edificio va a ser la que este a cargo de la obra. en definitiva voy a ser una arquitecta con el corazon roto y el casco blanco. Los anchorena vivian frente a plaza San Martin, una plaza inmensa y preciosa con subidas, bajadas y sobretodo buenas vistas. Desde su palacio podian admirar una iglesia propia que seria en la cual enterraran a toda la familia. Ante la traicion Corina con su cartera llena contrata a un grupo de arquitectos y realiza el edificio en ese entonces mas alto, todo hecho de Hormigon, una revolucion tecnologica para la epoca, una revolucion romantica tambien. el edificio se construyo con una sola limitacion que era la de tapar del todo la vista de la iglesia para los Anchorena, no solo tapo la vista sino que el unico lugar desde donde se puede contemplar la catedral es desde un pasaje llamado Corina Kavanagh. El edificio es magnifico, cada vez que puedo lo observo y estudio, incrible, alto, impotente y precioso. Siempre pienso que pocos huevos que tuvo el pibe Anchorena, si te gustaba Corina sos un imbecil, hubieras luchado por ella, a veces pienso que Corina le demostro no solo que el no lo valia tanto, sino que no iba a permitir que se olvidara lo que se habia perdido, lo unico que podria mirar seria semejante mounstro y pensaria, "Que mina que me perdi".

"Medianeras: Buenos Aires na era do amor virtual"
Tumblr media
Enviada por: Larine Lira
Local: Edifício Kavanagh, Buenos Aires - Argentina
"Sinopse": Medianeras é um dos meus filmes favoritos! E conheci um dos cenários do filme que mais acho legal: o Edifício Kavanagh e a ruela ao lado dele, a passagem “Corina Kavanagh”. Corina Kavanagh mandou construir o imenso prédio, que por muito tempo foi o mais alto de Buenos Aires, por vingança. A tradicional família Anchorena não aprovava sua relação amorosa com um dos rapazes da família. Contrariada, a rica Corina mandou levantar um edifício que encobrisse a Igreja do Santíssimo Sacramento, construída pelos Anchorena em 1920 para ser usada como sepulcro da família. A igreja ficou totalmente encoberta e para ter acesso a ela era preciso passar pela “Pasaje Kavanagh” ao lado do edifício.
Hahahaha Corina tem o meu respeito!!! :)
