Overview
We invite you to discover Mendoza’s history and legacy through a fascinating tour of its founding district.
We’ll start at Plaza Pedro del Castillo, the heart of the colonial city, where you can get a sense of its origins. Next, we’ll explore the imposing ruins of the Church of San Francisco, which was destroyed by the devastating earthquake of 1861.
Finally, we’ll visit Plaza San Martín, where we’ll trace the history of this iconic site and discover how it has evolved over time. We’ll admire the equestrian monument to General San Martín and highlight the Basilica of San Francisco, an architectural gem steeped in history and spirituality.
We look forward to seeing you!
