Today, we're going on a special journey to La Plata, a city that was carefully planned back in the 19th century. This means it was designed with a lot of thought and care. We're going to discover some amazing things about this city!

First, we'll visit the Neo-Gothic Cathedral of La Plata. This is a really big church, and it's the largest one in Argentina. It's built in a style called Neo-Gothic, which is known for its tall and pointy structures. When we look at this cathedral, we can feel the deep religious history of Argentina.
