Estancia of Caroya

The Estancia of Caroya features stone walls, large courtyards, and wooden ceilings that represent the architectural style of Spanish colonial buildings in Argentina.

The Jesuits constructed this agricultural estate in the late 17th century, establishing it as a center for crop production and cattle raising until their expulsion in 1767.

The buildings and grounds reflect the combination of European and Indigenous influences through architectural elements, farming methods, and social structures of colonial times.

Guided tours of the property explain the historical importance of the estate within the Jesuit Block and Estancias of Córdoba UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The stone walls contain marks from Indigenous craftsmen who participated in the construction, providing evidence of early colonial construction techniques.
