Floridablanca, Archaeological site in San Julian Bay, Santa Cruz, Argentina.

The remains of an 18th-century Spanish settlement stretch across 600 square meters, containing foundations of colonial buildings and residential structures.

Spanish colonists established Floridablanca in 1780 as part of the strategic expansion along the Patagonian coast to protect territorial interests.

Archaeological investigations since 1998 have uncovered numerous artifacts that demonstrate the daily life patterns of Spanish settlers in Patagonia.

Researchers employ electromagnetic and electrical techniques to map buried structures, identifying three distinct types of walls within the settlement layout.

The site contains two complete house foundations with preserved adobe walls, providing insights into colonial architectural methods in southern Argentina.
