Depicted nice historic weathervane in the shape of gilded sailing ship decorates Torre Monumental clocktower in Buenos Aires district Retiro.
Torre Monumental (originally called Torre de los Ingleses / Tower of the English) is situated in the Plaza Fuerza Aérea Argentina (formerly Plaza Británica) next to the Rua San Martín and Avenida del Libertador. It was a gift from the local British community to the city in commemoration of the centennial of the May Revolution of 1810. After the Falklands War in 1982, the tower was renamed Torre Monumental.
