This church's altar (carved from a single block of white marble) and huge organ (one of the country's largest and oldest) are worth a look. Note the bullet marks on one of the belfries—it was fired on by incensed locals in 1807 when English troops who had invaded the city occupied the building and flew the Union Jack there. English flags captured during various battles, along with artifacts, are on display inside the church. Open Monday-Friday 9:30 am-1:30 pm and 3-7 pm, Saturday and Sunday for Mass. At Avenida Defensa 422, Monserrat (a few blocks south of Plaza de Mayo), Buenos Aires. Phone 4331-1668. http://www.curiosamonserrat.com.ar/iglesia/domingo.html.
