Plaza San Martín
The original heart of Córdoba, surrounded by the cathedral and town hall, with an equestrian bronze statue of General San Martín at its center.
Plaza San Martín was the main square planned when the city was founded in 1573. It is surrounded by the Cathedral, the Cabildo, and other historic buildings. An equestrian bronze statue of General San Martín, the Liberator, stands at the center, and street performers and locals often rest under the shade of the trees. From here, a pedestrian street leads south to the Jesuit Block, and north you can reach the Church of Santo Domingo and the Museo Histórico Marqués de Sobremonte. It is open all day, and the buildings are beautifully lit at night.
