Finca Castañares, Colonial estate in Salta, Argentina
The main house features an L-shaped gallery with adobe walls, wooden beam ceilings, and a central courtyard surrounded by interconnected rooms.
General Manuel Belgrano used this estate as his headquarters before the Battle of Salta in 1813, planning military strategies from its strategic vantage point.
The property now functions as a cultural center and museum, preserving local heritage through exhibitions and educational programs about Argentine independence.
Located 7 kilometers north of Salta's city center, the estate opens for guided tours that explain its architectural features and military significance.
The structure underwent extensive restoration in the 1990s using specialized techniques to stabilize its original colonial-era gallery columns.
