- El Galpon de Catalinas/Grupo de Teatro Catalinas Sur - The scenic mural “Welcome to La Boca,” an emblematic work designed and coordinated by Argentine artist Omar Néstor Gasparini, executed by a group of local artists, depicts the life and characters of the neighborhood in a structure evoking an old tenement building. Inaugurated in 1999 in front of Parque Lezama, this mural represents immigrants, workers, and iconic symbols of La Boca, such as football and tango. Despite the need for replacement in 2009 due to the expansion of Avenida Paseo Colón, it remained faithful to the original design, being reinaugurated in 2012.
- Martin Ron mural - The mural “Gloria”, created by renowned Argentine artist Martín Ron, is an impressive representation located at Martín Rodríguez 300, in La Boca. Featuring Tevez and a young player, it symbolizes the neighborhood’s future glories and merges sport, art, tango, and immigration, essential elements of La Boca.
- Mural San Diego del Barrio de La Boca - The mural “San Diego del barrio de La Boca,” created by Alfredo Segatori, is located in La Boca and pays tribute to Diego Armando Maradona. Inaugurated in February 2021, near the Usina del Arte, it stands 20 meters tall and depicts Maradona as a saint. Segatori began painting it on November 25th, the date of Maradona’s passing in 2020. From the wall, the idol gazes upon us with a mischievous smile, holding a scepter shaped like a soccer ball and wearing a Versace necklace with the Boca Juniors logo.
- Silos Areneros - Mural de Alfredo Segatori - “El sueño de Quinquela” is an artistic intervention by artist Alfredo Segatori on the silos of Silos Areneros, contributing to the goal of filling La Boca with colors. Segatori combines his distinctive style of “Exabrupto de Color” with figuration and recycling of materials, paying homage to the great master Benito Quinquela Martín, whose legacy is fundamental to the neighborhood of La Boca.
- Caminito - Caminito, named after the famous tango, was advocated for by Quinquela Martín himself in 1959. It stands as one of the most iconic promenades in the city, an essential stop for visitors. With its colorful corrugated iron tenements, it serves as an open-air museum, offering a glimpse into the origins of Buenos Aires.
