It was built in Buenos Aires in 1913. For those times, a huge achievement (remember that the metro appeared in Moscow in 1935). Thus, the subway in Argentina became the first in Latin America, the first in Spanish-speaking countries and the 13th in the world. Argentina in those days was one of the richest world powers.
