Tour location:Buenos Aires
From R$332.40 /person
Palacio Barolo is the only building inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Visit this imposing 100-meter-high national monument, passing through the floors that offer the greatest symbolism of the Divine Comedy and reaching the extraordinary 360° viewpoint. True to the spirit of conservation and historical reappraisal, Palacio Barolo Tours also features a 1920s Museum Room, which visitors can access during the tour and become immersed in time.
Between the three divisions of the Divine Comedy, Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, which Borges places in his work 'Nine Dantian Essays', the Pythagorean relationship that determines the number Pi (3.14) is fulfilled; This relationship occurs in the original division of access via elevators.
The architect Palanti was also a scholar of the Divine Comedy and filled the Palace with references to it.
The building plan is constructed based on the golden section and the golden number.
The Palace and the Divine Comedy are generally divided into three parts: hell, purgatory, and heaven. The nine access vaults represent the nine steps of initiation and the nine infernal hierarchies; the lighthouse represented the nine angelic choirs. Above the lighthouse is the constellation of the Southern Cross, which can be seen aligned with the axis of the Barolo in early June at 7:45 p.m. The building is 100 meters high, and 100 are the corners of Dante's work; it has 22 floors, as many as the stanzas of the Divine Comedy.
During your visit, you will inevitably climb 14 floors by elevator and 8 floors by stairs to access the lighthouse and panoramic balconies.
The tour is not suspended in case of rain. In the event of a severe storm or electrical storm, the lighthouse climb may be cancelled without canceling the remainder of the tour.
We recommend bringing a drink to keep you hydrated during the tour.
