    The 19th of November, the city of La Plata remembers its birthday. It was founded in 1882 by Dardo Rocha, who was the governor of Buenos Aires. The idea to create a new city was born when the politicians decided to separate the capital city of the country from the capital city of the 

Buenos Aires.

  

The most important buildings and the outline of the city was designed by Pedro Benoit following the concepts at that moment.

    Every year the city makes several and popular parties to celebrate its foundation. The events include famous singers who usually sing against thousands of people in the Moreno square. After that, to end the night, a big firework show lights the dark sky.
    A curious tip: during the party of its 100 years, a big cake was made and distributed among the public.
