Join us on a journey through an Argentine city's history and architecture on our Córdoba Churches Tour. We'll visit the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption and churches belonging to Capuchin and Jesuit orders.

Córdoba Churches Tour

At your chosen time, we'll meet at your hotel in central Córdoba. From there, we'll walk to San Martín Square and visit the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, one of the main Catholic buildings in this province.

Inside the Cathedral, we'll observe the Renaissance decoration from colonial times, the barrel vault, and the high altar with artwork made of embossed silver from Upper Peru. We will discuss the tombs of two important figures: the dean Gregorio Funes and the aristocrat Margarita Weild.

Just a few feet from the cathedral, we will find the Church of Saint Teresa and the Monastery of Saint José de las Carmelitas Descalzas. We will learn about aspects of cloistered life. Our tour will continue to the Church of the Society of Jesus, the oldest church in Córdoba, recognized as a World Heritage Site.

The last stop will be the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, also known as Los Capuchinos Church. This neo-Gothic church, built in the first half of the 20th century, features beautiful vaults decorated with stars and art depicting the life of Saint Francis of Assisi.

After 2 hours 30 minutes, our tour will conclude at Los Capuchinos Church. You can choose to climb the bell tower for panoramic views.

Meeting point

Our walking tour will start from your hotel in the city centre. If you're staying outside the centre, you'll need to make your own way to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in San Martín Square. The guide will be waiting at the main entrance, where Independencia and San Jerónimo Streets intersect.
