History[]
The first chapel was built around 1730 by the initiative of Juan Guillermo González y Aragón, a distinguished Spanish gentleman who after being widowed was dedicated to the priesthood.[2] The Church of San Miguel was initially founded as Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, being elevated to Parish in 1830, bearing the name of Saint Michael the Archangel as patron.[3]
On the street of this Church took place the clashes between the Spanish and British Troops, occurred during the second British Invasion in the Rio de la Plata.[4] The current facade is the work of César Augusto Ferrari, that started the remodeling works in 1912.[5]
