Today in 1793, 230 years ago: on the banks of the Paraná River, at the crossroads of the Camino Real that forked to the northwest (to Córdoba, Bolivia and Peru), and to the north (to the Litoral), the chapel of Nuestra Señora del Rosario is inaugurated. The farmhouse built around it was declared a "villa" in 1823, and a "city" in 1853.
