In 2006, Córdoba was honored as the Cultural Capital of the Americas, a testament to its rich colonial heritage and vibrant atmosphere. While it is Argentina's second-largest city after Buenos Aires, Córdoba stands out for its exceptionally well-preserved colonial architecture. Highlights include the stunning 17th-century Manzana Jesuítica (Jesuit Block) with its subterranean Jesuit crypts, Argentina's oldest university, and the historic cabildo (town hall) located on Plaza San Martín. Its unique charm will make you reluctant to leave.
