Overview

Plaza Belgrano, originally known as "Campo de las Carreras," holds a special place in Salta's history. It was the site of the Battle of Tucumán in 1812, a crucial victory for General Manuel Belgrano during the Argentine War of Independence. In 1872, the plaza was officially established in Belgrano's honor. A bronze statue of the General, created in 1885 by Francisco Cafferata, stands at the heart of the plaza.The plaza also marks the spot where General Martín Miguel de Güemes, another key figure in Argentina's independence, was mortally wounded. A plaque commemorates this event, and a flame burns eternally in his honor. Plaza Belgrano is surrounded by significant buildings, including the Usandivaras Palace and the provincial police station. The plaza provides a tranquil space with over 250 trees offering shade.
