Description: Flores is a neighbourhood at the center of the city of Buenos Aires. Up to the 1880s it was a rural district of the province of Buenos Aires called San José de Flores but, in 1888, it was integrated to the capital city. It was a small town of country houses that once belonged to powerful persons such as former governor Juan Manuel de Rosas. The name dated from the early 1800 when the new bishop of Buenos Aires, Benito Lué y Riega, decided to create a new parish and, to accomplish this goal, the family Flores donated lands for the church, the principal road, and the slaughterhouse.
