Jesuit Block and Estancias of Córdoba

The Jesuit Block is a religious complex in Córdoba with a university, church, and residence buildings at its core. Five agricultural estates spread across the province completed this network for education and self-sufficiency.

The Jesuits founded this complex in the 17th century as a center for education and religious training. The network of connected estates gave them economic independence and growing influence across the region.

The buildings blend Spanish colonial style with local construction methods, merging European and South American craftsmanship in visible ways. You can see this fusion in the stonework and how the roofs are built.

The central site has museums and displays, but the five estates are scattered across the province and require separate trips. Plan your route ahead since the locations are spread far apart.

The site features an impressive colonial-era water system with stone channels that carried water throughout the grounds. This engineering solution supplied both the fields and buildings, showing the technical skill used centuries ago.
