Carmen de Patagones, Colonial settlement in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
The city extends along the northern bank of Rio Negro, featuring colonial buildings and sandstone structures near the Atlantic Ocean coast.
Founded in 1779 by Francisco de Viedma, Carmen de Patagones became a crucial defense point during the Cisplatine War against Brazilian forces in 1827.
The Historical Regional Museum Francisco de Viedma contains over 7,900 artifacts that document the development of this southernmost Buenos Aires Province city.
Visitors can reach multiple historical landmarks by walking along the riverside path, including La Carlota house and the 18th-century fortress tower.
The central cathedral displays two original Brazilian imperial flags captured during the 1827 battle when local residents successfully defended their territory.
