Desperate for air conditoning, this beautiful shopping mall, the Galeriàs Pacifico was perfect respite from the heat. It's a Beaux Arts building from 1945 with 12 frescos. The building had been abanonded for years, renovated in 1991.
Apparently the building was used as a torture center by the military junta that ruled from 1976-1983.
(Oh yes the military junta I'm not sure if I remember that from news growing up or was it a movie.)
Really as far as shops, nothing different than US, UK. High end like Polo Dior, Lacoste, Hilfinger and of course Starbucks . No purchases other than dinner.
I am used to seeing frescos in Italian churches
