La Boca
Barrio in Buenos Aires, Argentina
About
La Boca is a neighborhood (barrio) of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
Its location near the Port of Buenos Aires meant the neighbourhood became a melting pot of different cultures during the 20th century, when millions of immigrants from Europe and Asia arrived to Argentina. In particular, many of its settlers originated from the Italian region of Liguria. The neighbourhood became a cornerstone for porteño culture, being an important site during the early development of the tango.
