Alta Gracia
In the 17th century Alta Gracia was as a large agricultural ranch (an estancia) operated by Jesuits. Along with other ranches, Alta Gracia was founded to economically support the Collegium Maximum or “Colegio Máximo”, one of Argentina’s first universities (Universitas Cortuba Tucumanæ) today: Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, and other educational institutes that are now part of the Manzana Jesuítica (“Jesuit Block”), an important center in Córdoba City. The Jesuit Block and Estancias of Córdoba were named World Heritage site in 2000.

The Cathedral and Cabildo
Córdoba has many historical monuments left over from the colonial era. In the centre, near the Plaza San Martín square, is the Jesuit Cathedral [left on the picture], whose altar is made of stone and silver from Potosí. Every ornament inside is made of gold and the roof is all painted with different images from the Bible. Another important building is the Cabildo (colonial government house) [right on the picture], located next to the church.

On the road
We drove about 40kms (25 or so miles) on a dirt track going from Jesus Maria to Capilla del Monte, in the Cordoba province. Along the way, we came across this beautiful horse in the pasture.
In for a nice ride
Atilio took this picture while we were on board of one of those open double-decker bus in Cordoba during the city tour visit. It’s without saying that no Photoshop was used to retouch the picture ;=).
Córdoba
Just got back from our 4 day-trip to Córdoba Province. The capital city, Cordoba, is extremely nice, and should have no reason to be jealous of Buenos Aires. Cordoba is quieter, cleaner and a very green city. Social differences do not strike at all – as they do in Buenos Aires. A nice town with some 1.3 million inhabitants. Read more on Wikipedia.
