The Parque Lezama, located at the top of the ravine that marks the former shore of the Rio de la Plata, originated in the luxury gardens which the landowner Gregorio Lezama commissioned European landscape architects to create for his private mansion in the second half of the 19th century.
His widow sold it in 1894 to the municipality with the condition to convert it into a public park, after which it was redesigned by the French landscape architect and Director of Parks of the city of Buenos Aires, Carlos Thays.
In the background, the domes of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity.
