Glimpse of El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore in Buenos Aires

Undated photo shows the El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore in Buenos Aires in Argentina. It is one of the biggest and most luxurious bookstores in South America. Covering an area of over 2,000 square meters, the building was originally a theater nearly a century ago, and was converted into a bookstore in 2000. The stage is now a café where people can snuggle up with their selections and admire the ornate views of the interior decorations. [Photo: IC]
