Liniers

Liniers is a barrio (neighborhood) of Buenos Aires on the edge of the city, centered on Rivadavia Avenue.

The neighborhood developed around the Liniers railway station following its inaugural in 1872.

Liners is also the site of the Church of San Cayetano, consecrated in 1900 and elevated to a parish in 1913.

[2] The Church of San Cayetano hosts thousands of faithful who gather each feast day (August 7) to pray for employment or to give thanks for their livelihood.

[3] The ward is named after Santiago de Liniers, a colonial administrator who resisted the British Invasions of the Río de la Plata.
