It's supposedly the widest avenue in the world. It is 127 meters in width and has 18 traffic lanes.

The 9th of July is their Independence Day (1816) and it's said to be the widest avenue in the world (I'm guessing that makes it world famous) . And on it are a statue of Don Quixote, the French Embassy, Constitucion station, and it basically connects all major points in the city.

It honors Argentina's Independence day and it is claimed to be the world's widest avenue.
