What to expect
Cordoba
We visit the most important points of the city: the Historic Fundational Center, composed of the Plaza San Martin, the Cabildo and the Cathedral; the Civic Center, highlighting the City Hall, the Courthouse, the Plaza Italia, the stream the Gorge, the Plaza of the Administration, etc. We are passing by the Libertador General San Martin Theatre and enter the student district of Nueva Cordoba where we visit the Capuchin Church. We continue along the Sarmiento Park, Government House and University City. We observe the monument to "Urban Man", and boarded the Suquía River waterfront arriving at the popular Barrio Alberdi. From Av. Colón we head to the Olympic Stadium, the Fair Complex, Free University of the Environment and the City Botanic Gardens. We cross the river and enter to the elegant neighborhood of Cerro de Las Rosas, where we find the monument to the "Urban Woman", the Av. Rafael Nuñez and the viewpoint of the Indigenous Park.
The most recognizable is perhaps the Jesuit Block (Spanish: Manzana Jesuítica), declared in 2000 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO[3] which consists of a group of buildings dating from the 17th century, including the Colegio Nacional de Monserrat and the colonial university campus. The campus belongs today to the historical museum of the National University of Córdoba, which has been the second-largest university in the country since the early 20th century (after the University of Buenos Aires), in number of students, faculty, and academic programs.
The development of a suburb south of the rapidly growing Córdoba of the late nineteenth century created the need for an extensive new green space for the area. The new neighborhood's chief developer, Miguel Crisol, commissioned a French urbanist for the task in 1889, Carlos Thays. Newly arrived, Thays planned the new park on a plateau overlooking the Cañada Brook to the west and the National University of Córdoba's colonial campus to the south. This would be the first of over a dozen ambitious urban design projects Thays would undertake across Argentina until his death in 1934.[1] It was named Parque Sarmiento in honor of former President Domingo Sarmiento, the noted promoter of the national educational system born one hundred years earlier. The park and its rose garden quickly became the preferred surroundings for many in Córdoba high society and, in 1912, Dr. Juan Ferreyra bought adjacent land for his Beaux Arts mansion, completed in 1916
