Torre Ader
In order to give thanks to Argentina for having housed many of their deceased children, this tower was built by Bernardo Ader. It was built in a place that was then a field, or more accurately, a farm that was purchased from his cousin named Baron Bieckert. It was where Ader had moved by medical advice to his family. Independence Tower, better known as Ader Tower, began construction in 1916 and was inaugurated on July 9, 1917. Long before the current urban development and in the middle of a deserted place as it was, the tower served as a reference, among others, the then recent rail travelers. It was part of a larger project that included a huge house that was never built, where was his lookout tower.
Eventually the tower was given to the community in 1967 by descendants of Ader. Currently, the tower is a cultural place. It has been declared as a municipal historical monument, and it also serves as a newspaper and historical research center. Visitors can visit and climb to its top for a 360 degree view of the city. It is located at the intersection of Triumvirate and Castelli, in the town of Carapachay, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Visiting hours at the viewpoint are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 12:30 pm. And the reference to the Institute of Historical Research, Monday through Friday from 9-13 pm.
