Casa Natal de Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Birth house and national historical monument in San Juan, Argentina.

The adobe residence features nine main rooms, three service areas, and two courtyards, with original walls dating from the early 1800s.

In 1911, this house, where educator and president Domingo Faustino Sarmiento was born in 1811, became Argentina's first national historical monument.

The house contains exhibits of Sarmiento's personal items, documents, and a library of 5,000 volumes promoting education and literary advancement.

Located at Sarmiento Sur 21 in San Juan, the museum offers guided tours exploring the life of Sarmiento through interactive displays.

The building survived a severe earthquake in 1944, leading to structural reinforcements while maintaining its original architectural elements.
