Museo de la Reconquista

The Museo de la Reconquista occupies a colonial-style building with two floors and thick walls made of large bricks with traditional barred windows throughout. The spaces inside display collections related to the region's past and the people who lived here.

The museum was founded in 1967 and preserves the memory of Santiago de Liniers' landing in 1806, which sparked resistance against British invasions in Buenos Aires. This event marked a turning point in the region's history and that of the city.

The exhibits show how Tigre developed through displays of natural history, indigenous heritage, and the role of the historic Port of Santa María de Las Conchas. These collections offer insight into how water and human settlement shaped the region over time.

The building is fully accessible for visitors with mobility needs, allowing everyone to view the exhibits throughout the space. It helps to check opening times in advance since they vary depending on the day of the week.

On the museum grounds stands a cherry tree planted by María Kodama in 2011 to honor writer Jorge Luis Borges. This tree serves as a quiet reminder of a literary connection to Argentine cultural history.
