Description of the guided tour:
The guided tour begins in the Barolo Passage; in this part of the building, which corresponds to “Hell”, the guide explains the symbolism of the different decorative ornaments, and we begin to delve into the fascinating and enigmatic history of this Latin skyscraper.

The tour continues by taking the elevator up to one of the two balconies of the so-called “Purgatory”, where it is revealed that the dome observed from the hall of the building does not correspond to its axis. To prove it, the tour proceeds by elevator to the 13th floor. This is how the complexity of Architect Palanti’s work begins to be appreciated in all its splendor, perceiving the majesty and symbolism that he gave to each of the spaces.

There, on the Terrace on the 13th floor, the views are imposing and the Barolo Lighthouse begins to come into view.

Then, you climb one floor (on foot) to reach the Tower where, after a brief explanation of what will be experienced next, you climb six floors by stairs. This section of the Palace is the so-called Paradise. During the ascent, the corridors gradually narrow until they open onto the Barolo lookout balconies where the panoramic views are, according to our visitors, the best in the city of Buenos Aires.

We still need to reach the “empyrean” of Paradise, the place where Dante imagined that the blessed souls gathered, and where Architect Palanti projected a Lighthouse.

This beacon is immersed in a glass dome almost one hundred meters high and climbing up there is the most unforgettable memory that Barolo offers. The Lighthouse was restored in 2010 and has a powerful lamp of 5000 watts. The tour concludes by retracing the stairs we climbed earlier and then descending the elevator to the Museum Office. There, our visitors will be able to feel part of the golden 20s, in a moment of relaxation among hats and period furniture.
