Resistencia, Administrative capital in Chaco Province, Argentina.
Resistencia stands along the Negro River, opposite to Corrientes city, with wide streets following a modern grid pattern different from traditional designs.
The territorial capital establishment occurred on January 27, 1878, with Italian immigrants forming the first city council that same year.
The streets and squares of Resistencia contain more than 600 sculptures, leading to its recognition as the national capital of sculptures.
The city connects to major Argentine destinations through its international airport, national routes 11 and 16, and the General Belgrano Bridge.
The International Sculpture Biennial brings artists from numerous countries to create outdoor works, adding to the permanent collection every two years.
