A great free plan to take advantage of the day, take pictures with the newly restored flower and share a different afternoon in the heart of Recoleta.
A unique repair that restored the Floralis to its original shine.
The party is not casual: the Floralis Genérica recovered its complete shape after an unprecedented intervention that combined techniques from the aeronautical industry, fluvial logistics and precision operations. Do you remember? In December 2023, a strong storm damaged two of its petals. Since then, a process began that took almost two years and included a detailed structural analysis, the disassembly of parts, a repair in an industrial plant in Baradero and an epic return to the City.
Each petal traveled more than 150 kilometers by barge along the Paraná River and the RĂo de la Plata, before completing the last stretch by land to arrive back to Recoleta. The last of them was mounted just a few days ago, completing its iconic silhouette.
Created by architect Eduardo Catalano and inaugurated in 2002, the Floralis Genérica is one of the most recognizable postcards of Buenos Aires: it weighs 18 tons, measures more than 20 meters and is built in stainless steel and aluminum. Its restoration included:
With the Floralis shining again and a free festival to celebrate, this weekend Palermo becomes one of the must-see plans in Buenos Aires.
