San Salvador de Jujuy, Provincial capital in northwestern Argentina

Located at 1,259 meters elevation between the Xibi-xibi and Grande rivers, San Salvador de Jujuy functions as the administrative center of Jujuy Province.

Francisco de Argañarás y Murguía established the city in 1593, developing it into a strategic location for mule trade between Tucumán and Potosí silver mines.

The central Plaza Belgrano hosts regular gatherings where residents participate in traditional music performances and regional celebrations throughout the year.

The Gobernador Horacio Guzmán International Airport, situated 33 kilometers southeast, connects the city with Buenos Aires through scheduled flights.

The Government House preserves the original national flag, while the cathedral, begun in 1606, contains artistic treasures from the 18th century.
