OUR VISIT TO LA RECOLETA NEIGHBOURHOOD

To understand our complex present, it is sometimes necessary to have a look at the past. Hence, bearing this moto in mind, we had the pleasure of leading our 3rd year students to a wonderfully guided visit of our Recoleta Cemetery on October 3^rd. Indeed, Mrs Victoria, our guide...led the way through one of the sites which best summerize both tradition and culture, alliances and antagonisms, present and past. Thus, our students had the opportunity to appreciate in the mausoleums and monuments not only part of our rich history as a country but also its architectural treasures.

BELLAS ARTES MUSEUM

Some weeks ago, 1st and 2nd year visited Bellas Artes. The students saw the impressionist and baroque galleries and learnt a lot of details about some famous paintings and their authors. They did some research work on the topics before and after their visit to the museum.
 They really enjoyed the experience and had a good time!!
