Ninth of July Park

Ninth of July Park is a large green space in San Miguel de Tucumán featuring wide paths, landscaped gardens, a lake, and numerous iron sculptures spread throughout the grounds. The space is organized into different areas that visitors can explore as they walk.

French-Argentine urban planner Charles Thays was commissioned in 1898 to design the park, and the project was inaugurated on July 9, 1916. This founding shaped the city planning of San Miguel de Tucumán in the early 1900s.

The Bishop Colombres House contains a museum dedicated to the sugar industry, where visitors can see historical artifacts and exhibitions about the region's agricultural development. This collection reflects how central sugar production was to the city's past.

The park is easy to navigate and has multiple pathways suited for different walking paces. The best times to visit are early mornings or late afternoons when the temperature is more comfortable.

A sundial made entirely from planted flowers and shrubs stands in the grounds and keeps accurate time through careful horticultural design. This feature demonstrates how gardeners can combine botany with precision engineering.
