San Telmo was officially established as a neighborhood in 1806, although its history dates back to the early days of the Spanish colonization of Buenos Aires in the 16th century. Originally, the area was known as "Alto de San Pedro." It was inhabited by elite families and was characterized by its large mansions and plazas.

In 1748, on land donated by neighbor Don Ignacio Bustillo y Zeballos, the Jesuit order began construction of the Church of Our Lady of Bethlehem, next to which the House of Spiritual Exercises was installed. Because of the latter, it began to be known as the Residencia neighborhood. When the Jesuits were expelled from America by the Kingdom of Spain in 1767, the Bethlemites took over the temple in 1785, and the Residencia began to be used as a jail.
