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, details on its barrel vault, and the impressive high altar with embossed silver from Upper Peru. We'll discuss the tombs of dean Gregorio Funes and aristocrat Margarita Weild.
Just a few feet from the cathedral, we'll find the Church of Saint Teresa and the Monastery of Saint José de las Carmelitas Descalzas. We'll learn about aspects of cloistered life. Our tour will continue to the Church of the Society of Jesus, the oldest church in Córdoba, declared 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 early 20th century, features vaults decorated with stars and artworks depicting Saint Francis of Assisi. After 2 hours 30 minutes, we will conclude the tour at Los Capuchinos Church, with an option 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 reach the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in San Martín Square. The guide will wait for you at the main entrance, where Independencia and San Jerónimo Streets intersect.
