Jesuit Block and Estancias of Córdoba

The Jesuit Block encompasses a university, church, and residence halls, while five rural estates extend across the Córdoba province, forming an educational network.

The Society of Jesus established this compound in the 17th century, creating a system of self-sustaining properties that supported their educational and religious activities.

The architecture combines Spanish colonial elements with local materials, demonstrating the fusion of European and South American building techniques.

The central Jesuit Block contains museums displaying historical documents, while the surrounding estates require separate transportation arrangements for visits.

The estates feature advanced hydraulic systems from the colonial period, which transported water through stone channels for agricultural and domestic purposes.
