This building shows a unique architectural style, mingling the neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic appearance followed by the dome, with its original hindu design, which belongs to the region of Bhubaneshwar. It represents the tantric union between Dante and Beatrice, both protagonists of The Divine Comedy. Learn the history and allegories of the Divine Comedy; the Faro (lighthouse) and enjoy the magnificent view of the city. Finally yu will visit an office from the 20s. 

The Palacio Barolo is a landmark office building in the Monserrat neighborhood that hides a number of curiosities. The building was designed by the Italian architect Mario Palanti for the businessman Luigi Barolo, with several curious architectural references to classical poet Dante Alighieri´s Divine Comedy. Palenti also incorporated Indian influences into his design. Inaugurated in 1923, the building was the tallest in South America until the construction of the Kavanagh building in 1935. It was the first reinforced concrete building measuring more than 100m and it is topped by a lighthouse.
