Colegio Nacional de Monserrat

A prestigious school founded in 1687, with colonial-era arcaded courtyards and a bell tower forming part of the Jesuit Block.

The Colegio Nacional de Monserrat was founded in 1687 and moved to its current site in the Jesuit Block in 1782. It is still a renowned secondary school affiliated with the National University of Córdoba and has educated several Argentine presidents and other notable figures. The buildings include a colonial arcaded courtyard, a fountain, and a neo-colonial bell tower added in the 20th century. On weekdays it is a working school, so visitors can take a short look at the entrance hall and the first courtyard, or join a Jesuit Block tour for access. Admission is free.
