Tandil, University city in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina

The city extends across the northern edge of Tandil hills, surrounded by granite formations and green valleys at 188 meters above sea level.

Fort Independence, established on April 4, 1823, by Colonel Martín Rodriguez marked the beginning of Tandil as a military settlement against indigenous populations.

The National University of Central Buenos Aires Province operates multiple research centers and educational programs, contributing to the regional academic development since 1974.

Tandil connects to major urban centers through National Route 226, positioned 330 kilometers from La Plata and 360 kilometers from Bahía Blanca.

The Piedra Movediza, a 300-ton granite boulder that remained balanced on a hill until 1912, now stands as a replica at its original location.
