La belleza de Buenos Aires
(BEAUTY OF BUENOS AIRES)
(BEAUTY OF BUENOS AIRES)
Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina. It is geographically located on the southern shore of the Río de la Plata, on the southeastern coast of the South American continent. Buenos Aires city is located outside of the Buenos Aires Province and is therefore not part of the province. It is also not the capital of the Buenos Aires province but is instead an autonomous city. Greater Buenos Aires is the third largest conurbation in Latin America, with a population of about 13 million.
After the internal conflicts of the 19th century, Buenos Aires was federalised and removed from Buenos Aires Province in 1880. The city limits were enlarged to include the former towns of Belgrano and Flores, which are both now neighbourhoods of the city.
Buenos Aires (English: Fair Winds or Good Air (see Names of Buenos Aires), pronounced [ˈbwe̞nɔs ˈai̯ɾɛ ]) was originally named after the sanctuary of "Nostra Signora di Bonaria" (Italian for "Our Lady of Bonaria") in Cagliari, Sardinia. In the 1994 constitution the city became autonomous, hence its formal name: Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, in English, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. See Names of Buenos Aires.
People from Buenos Aires are called porteños (people of the port).
