Pope Leo XIV’s itinerary includes stops at key locations such as the General San Martín Monument, Casa Rosada, Palacio Libertad, Pequeño Cottolengo Don Orione, Monument to the Spanish, Argentine Catholic University, Palacio San Martín, and Metropolitan Cathedral. The Pope is also set to celebrate Mass at the Military Aviation School in Córdoba and pray with young people in Buenos Aires.
To ensure the Pope’s safety, Argentina’s Ministry of Security has activated special security measures, creating three dedicated commands for Buenos Aires, Luján, Claypole, and Córdoba. The Pontifical Swiss Guard will provide immediate protection for the Pope. Additionally, President Milei declared three public holidays on November 9, 10, and 11 to facilitate security and traffic management.
