Viedma, Provincial capital in northern Patagonia, Argentina
Located on the southern bank of the Negro River, Viedma extends across 30 kilometers from the Atlantic coast at an elevation of 12 meters.
Francisco de Viedma y Narváez established Nuestra Señora del Carmen on April 22, 1779, marking one of the earliest European settlements in Patagonia.
The Historical Block contains the Our Lady of Mercy Cathedral, former Saint Francis of Sales College, and Salesian Museum, reflecting regional architectural heritage.
Two bridges connect Viedma to Carmen de Patagones: the Basilio Villarino road bridge and an iron railway bridge imported from Hamburg in the 1930s.
The city nearly became Argentina's federal capital in 1986 through a national initiative to relocate administrative functions from Buenos Aires.
