The Casa Mínima is an old house on the cobbled Pasaje San Lorenzo in San Telmo, said to be the narrowest in Buenos Aires: only 3.27 metres wide and 13 deep. The facade is simple, with a small green door and an iron lock, a tiny balcony with iron bars above, and a two-leaf window; its walls still keep old brick and original materials showing through the peeling paint. Many stories surround it in the neighbourhood, the best known being that it was given to a freed slave in the early nineteenth century, when owners gave their freed servants small plots of land to build on. The tale has never been proven, but it is part of the place's charm. It can only be entered on guided tours run by the nearby El Zanjón de Granados, in Spanish and English, on set days and booked ahead. The facade can be seen free from the passage at any time.
And tiny balcony.
