Moreno

Moreno is a city in the Greater Buenos Aires region, located about 36 kilometers west of the capital. It spreads across flat land and forms an important part of the metropolitan area with residential and commercial zones.

The city was founded in 1864 when a railway station was built on land provided by politician Amancio Jacinto Alcorta. This rail connection shaped its growth as a transportation hub within the expanding metropolitan region.

The Deutsche Schule Moreno and Universidad Nacional de Moreno provide educational opportunities through programs in sciences, technology, economics, and humanities.

The city is connected to Buenos Aires through an established railway network that enables daily commuter travel. The flat topography makes it easy to walk around, and the rail connections are the main way to explore the city and reach the capital.

The city is home to the Cathedral Nuestra Señora del Rosario, the main house of worship for the Diocese of Merlo-Moreno. This religious building serves as a central landmark for the local Catholic community.
