The city is the seat of the government of the Province. It enjoys a lively cultural life with several theatres and museums, notably the Argentinian Theatre<\/a> (the second most important opera house in the country) and the Museum of Natural Sciences<\/a>. The monumental Cathedral of La Plata<\/a>, located in the geographical centre of the city, is the largest Neogothic temple in South America. Other remarkable buildings include the Curutchet House<\/a>, the only work by the renowned architect Le Corbusier in Latin America, which has been designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n Images Credits: FCAG Museum and Planetario Universidad Nacional de La Plata<\/strong><\/p>\n The city of La Plata is about 60 km from Buenos Aires.
