History of the Church of Our Lady of Pilar and the Convento de Los Recoletos
The farm Los Ombúes
The June 11, 1580, Juan de Garay founded the city of the Holy Trinity on the banks of the Rio de la Plata and in homage to Pedro de Mendoza gave him the name "Santa Maria de Buenos Aires "to port. On October 24 made the division of lots, plots earth-bound, 6 of the 65 future villas were located in the current neighborhood of Recoleta.
The lucky number 5 corresponded to Rodrigo Ortiz de Zárate. He named Quinta de los Ombúes. Was to limit the ravine to the river and the existing streets Ayacucho, about Azcuenaga and Arenales. The area was known as "Payment of Monte Grande." Payment was called because there were vineyards and Monte Grande was due to the numerous low-altitude forests, which came to San Fernando. The mountains were of low height and poor wood, where there were many ombúes.
In 1606, Rodrigo Ortiz de Zarate Francisco sold the farm to Beaumont and Navarra, and in 1608 became the property of Juan Dominguez from Palermo who was expanding their land. Ten years later acquired and Villavicencio Martín Dávila, passed by inheritance to Enrique Mendoza, who sells Inés Romero of Santa Cruz and Isabel Frías de Martel. Then get Juan de Herrera and Howard, who leaves her daughter's fifth Gregoria married to Captain Fernando de Valdez and Inclan, who give the highest part of his farm to Juan de Narbonne for this builds a church and convent Recollect friars of the Franciscan order, just arrived from Spain in 1708. Were the Fray Pedro de la Torre, the council and the governor requesting permission His Majesty King Philip V to build a temple for the monks of the Collection of San Pedro de Alcantara in Trinidad, Buenos Aires today. To this had a very strong donation Pedro de Bustinza.
In 1716 Fray Diego de Ceballos, lay the convent, made a new management before the Court making the royal decree authorizing it. By then he had died as Fray Pedro as the donor. That is when Juan de Narbonne who makes a new legacy and build a modest chapel and four cells for the Franciscans. As the new donor was a devotee of the Virgin of Pilar de Zaragoza is a condition that the church remains under its patronage.
The Church of Our Lady of Pilar
In 1717 he signed the deed of compromise between the trader Juan de Narbonne and the Valdez captain and Inclán. Recollect friars built their monasteries in remote areas, as they went to prayer. So they had a particular interest in settling in the former villa of The Ombúes. Some historians say the plans are due to the German Jesuit brothers John Kraus and John Wolf. Others think it was the Jesuit brothers or Blanqui and Premoli Bianchi, authors of important works in Buenos Aires as the old Cathedral, the Cabildo, the Church of San Ignacio and Nuestra Señora de la Merced. In Cordoba also built the Cathedral. Since at that time there were very few and these were experienced architects are confident the majority of the buildings. There is also the possibility that they all work in the construction of the church and convent at different times or just collaborate on the design of some planes. Work begins
1715 and in 1718 was completed the first cloister. In 1721 it ended the second cloister. In 1725 the church is completed remains possible that the facade is the work of Father Bianchi. While the temple was being built, Narbonne built his house next door, where today the cemetery office and under the flooring are the ruins of the old house of fourteen rooms. Fray Diego de Cevallos travels to Spain in 1721 and returned with eight religious. The altar was the work of Domingo Mendez, Ignacio de Arregui, and Miguel de Careaga. In 1731 the bell was placed San Antonio de Padua in the belfry. Completes the 30 meter tower and the church was opened on 12 October 1732. It is the oldest church in our town preserved in its original baroque style. San Ignacio is only retains its previous building a tower and facade. In 1779 the facade was modified to place the altar of the relics and the baptistery in front creating a closed court. In 1821, Governor Martin Rodriguez and his Minister of Government Bernardino Rivadavia, expelled the friars of expropriating Collecting all his possessions, the church being closed for several years and the old orchard was established Recoleta Cemetery. In 1834 he went to the Convent and then beggars asylum nursing. Just
