Estancia of Santa Catalina

The estate contains a chapel, residential areas, agricultural buildings, and extensive grounds surrounded by stone walls and agricultural fields.

Founded in 1622, the Jesuit estate functioned as a center of agricultural production until the expulsion of the Jesuits, when it passed to Francisco Antonio Diaz.

The architectural design incorporates elements of Baroque and Mannerist styles, representing the fusion of European and local construction techniques in colonial Argentina.

Visitors can tour the estate between 10 AM and 1 PM, then 2 PM to 6 PM in summer months, with an entrance fee of 400 Argentine pesos.

The estate maintains its original stone walls, corridors, and agricultural structures from the 17th century, demonstrating early colonial farming methods in South America.
