Bicentennial Lighthouse
Faro del Bicentenario
A white tower built to commemorate Argentina's bicentennial of independence, a modern landmark of New Córdoba that lights up at night.
The Bicentennial Lighthouse was built in 2011 and stands about 50 meters tall, on the north side of Sarmiento Park near the provincial government building. It commemorates the bicentennial of the May Revolution in Argentina, and its top light illuminates the night sky, making it a modern landmark of the new district. Nearby are an urban interpretation center and a lawn plaza, as well as the modern 'Bicentennial Citizens' Center' complex. The tower is generally not open for climbing, so it is best to stop by at dusk for photos.
