Columna conmemorativa de la fundación de Corrientes
Columna conmemorativa de la fundación de Corrientes, Memorial column in Corrientes, Argentina.
The commemorative column stands on an octagonal base near the General Manuel Belgrano Bridge, marking the entrance to the urban area of Corrientes.
The structure was erected in 1828 during General Pedro Ferre's administration at the location where the Miracle Cross stood since 1588.
The column represents the establishment of San Juan de Vera city, now known as Corrientes, and marks the beginning of European settlement in the region.
The monument remains accessible every day throughout the year and stands at the intersection of north and south waterfront promenades.
In 1970, authorities relocated the column from its original position to accommodate the construction of the interprovincial bridge connecting Corrientes with Chaco.
