Sancti Spiritu, National historic site in Puerto Gaboto, Argentina.

The remains of Fort Sancti Spiritu stand at the confluence of Carcarañá and Paraná rivers, featuring stone foundations and archaeological artifacts from colonial times.

Sebastian Cabot established Fort Sancti Spiritu in 1527 as the first European settlement in Argentina, leading an expedition of more than two hundred men.

The fort included a chapel where the first recorded marriages between Spanish settlers and Guarani people took place, marking early cultural exchanges.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through guided tours departing from Puerto Gaboto, with excavation areas and historical exhibits open year-round.

The indigenous tribes burned the fort to the ground in September 1529, leaving behind numerous artifacts that archaeologists continue to uncover today.
