Since the late 19th century there were several waves of immigration to Argentina. Among other nationalities many Russians found their new home in Buenos Aires. The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity was built for this growing community in San Telmo. The temple was inaugurated at the beginning of the 20th century.
