The city of Buenos Aires has symbols that define it, the main one is the Obelisco, in the crossing of Current Avenues and 9 of Julio. It shines right in the center Buenosairean from year 1936. It symbolizes the two 
foundations of Buenos Aires and the hoisting for the first time of the national flag in the church San Nicholas. The authentic obeliscos are monolithic; that is to say, they are formed of a single stone block. Created by the Egyptians, they had religious character. The obeliscos raised at the remote times are numerous that last located in different cities of the world, but most famous, as much by their historical importance as by their lines, as soon as they pass the average dozen. Ours he is too young. Year 1936 ran and a political year was lived special. The announcement of the erection of the obelisco promoted a movement of repudio, in charge of a numerous sector of the public and the media. The negative outcry was disregarded and the empecinados ones in carrying out the project accelerated the works. The Buenosairean obelisco was raised in the term of 60 days. Nevertheless, from their inauguration all the voices were silenced that discredited it before being born. They were left some, very few, that insisted requesting their demolition. But the obelisco, our obelisco, went imposing for the single reason of its presence. The citizens began to watch it with good eyes. They felt like a a friend, like an inhabitant more of the city. It was constituted o'clock of reference, in a species of watch. The Obelisco is located in the call Seat of the Republic, almost exactly in the vertex that forms avenues 9 of Julio, 140 meters wide, North Diagonal, of 33 Current meters and the Avenue, also of 33 meters wide. Probably a many newness turns out to find out that exactly below the Obelisco two lines of superposed underground street cars run, the B and the D. On both tunnels a reinforced concrete platform forms the base, of 20 meters of each side and 1.50 meters of stop, that supports in two of its flanks on shoes of he himself material. Its visible structure has a length of 67 meters and means in its totality. 7 by 7 of base, and until the initiation of the apex 63 meters, that is 9 times the side of the base. The apex, that measures 4.5 meters, has in its greater part 3.5 meters of side. Inner he is hollow, but each 8 meters there is a slab with a hole in means. These slabs leave an emptiness in one of their angles where it is installed marine stairs to accede until his peak. In this one point, in its internal part, there is a sheave that would allow to hoist some bulk by the central hole of slabs. The Obelisco has front door in its base and four windows in its apex. This one superior part has been illuminated by outside years after its construction. Its interior has electrical illumination. And although it is invisible given its height, the Obelisco is provided with lightning rods very small, whose cables run by the interior. It is had with armed cement, replacing primitive marble slabs. This change was made as a result of the loosening of some of these slabs, motivated by deficiencies in his hurried construction. The Obelisco weighs 170 tons, cost 200 thousand pesos national currency and was designed by the architect Alberto Prebisch. Its erection was arranged by Municipal Intendance, in charge of Don Mariano de Vedia and Mitre, like a tribute to the centenary of the foundation of Buenos Aires
