Villa María, Commercial center in General San Martín Department, Córdoba, Argentina.
Villa María is a city in Córdoba Province built along the Tercero River. The urban area spans from residential neighborhoods to a central business district, with the riverfront integrated into the layout.
Villa María was founded in 1867 by Manuel Anselmo Ocampo and became a candidate for Argentina's capital in the early 1870s. This moment reflected its early importance in the country's regional development.
The Peñas Festival has taken place every February since 1967, drawing folk musicians, rock bands, and comedians to perform at the Municipal Amphitheater. It remains a gathering point where artists and audiences from across the region connect through music and entertainment.
The city is accessible via National Routes 9 and 158, which connect to Córdoba and Buenos Aires. Regular bus services operate from here to surrounding areas and nearby cities.
The local dairy industry leads Argentina's milk production, supported by fertile farmland surrounding the city and many processing plants. This sector shapes the region's economy and landscape.
