CORDOBA CITY
Cordoba city is the second most important city in Argentina and the largest city located in the central part of the country. The city have been explored by thousands of tourists from all over the planet because of its amazing history and sensational scenary. In the main city as well as the surrounding areas you will feel the mystery of the many cathedrals and famous Jesuit States and jesuit legacy.

CHURCHES

Sacred Heart of Jesus (Los Capuchinos) Church
Avenue Buenos Aires #693. This neo-gothic style church was inaugurated in 1933 and transports us back to the medieval era. Its characteristics display a monumental style more than a temple.

Santo Domingo Basilica
In the Virgen's Chamber there are two English flags and Liniers walking cane from the time of the conquistadors and the invasion of 1806.

Company of Jesus Church
In 1599 the Jesuits established themselves in this area and the Jesuit order built the Chapel, Domestic, and Residence of the Priests Churches. Every church has its own special attributes so please take the extra time to take a good look at the details and distinctions of each one.

Cathedral Church
This magnificent Colonial-American architectural structure is also declared a National Historical Monument. Its interior is divided into three areas and it was magnificently decorated in the first years of the 20th century under the careful eye of artist Emilio Caraffa. Among its treasures is the silver shrine, built in 1804 and in the atrium rest the remains of Dean Funes, an important priest and writer in Cordoba in the early 1800s.

Convent of the San Francisco Church
In its neoclassical style, it has one aisle with a renaissance cross and the choir area has a baroque style with indigenous facades and important paintings dating back to the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Its construction forms part of the first City Convent.

PROMENADES; STROLLS

The Canal Walkway (La Cañada)
This stream, stemming from the Suquia River brought problems to the citizens of the city since the foundation of Cordoba due to the floods it produced during the rainy months. Now one can enjoy a peaceful stroll under the big green trees at its edges.

BUEN PASTOR – Located at Av. Hipólito Yrigoyen 325 (Between the streets Buenos Aires and San Lorenzo). Located in the Nueva Cordoba neighborhood, it inhabits the building of the same name that once housed the ex-woman’s prison. This project aims to preserve the cultural values of important buildings, revitalizing their energy by injecting a new relationship between architecture and society. Buen Pastor offers many attractive shops, restaurants, bars and cultural activities both inside and outside.
Please take notice of the conserved Chapel and enclosures and how they have transformed – while maintaining their history into one of the most modern-urban works recently installed in Cordoba.
