Some 12 miles southwest of the city of Buenos Aires is a remarkable settlement called Ciudad Evita. It was founded in 1947 by the then-president of Argentina, Juan Perón, in tribute to his wife, Eva.
Peron held a number of important positions under the regime. His strong support for labor unions and social reform resulted in widespread support for him among the Argentine masses.
