Paraná, Provincial capital in Entre Ríos, Argentina

Located on elevated terrain between 18 and 30 meters above the Paraná River, the city extends along the eastern bank with residential neighborhoods.

The settlement began in 1730 as Bajada de Santa Fe and served as the capital of the Argentine Confederation from 1853 until 1862.

The Cathedral of Paraná, built in 1883, contains the image of Our Lady of the Rosary and stands as a national monument in the city center.

The General Justo José de Urquiza Airport, situated 7.5 kilometers from downtown, connects the city with regular flights to Buenos Aires.

A subfluvial tunnel completed in 1969 runs beneath the Paraná River, linking the cities of Paraná and Santa Fe through an underwater road connection.
