A Brief History Of The City
Founded in 1573 on the water’s edge of the Suquía river, the city of Cordoba is famous for being the greatest cultural and services center after Buenos Aires. It has a historic center with one of the most valuable heritage in the country, with a number of churches, convents and old houses dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries with remarkable artistic and architectonic value.
The Cathedral, the Compañía, Santa Teresa, and Santa Catalina Convents, the House of the Marquee of Sobremonte, and the Rivera Indarte Theater – all found in Córdoba – are among the various outstanding monuments in Argentina’s architectural heritage.
Additionally, it was in this city that the country’s first university was founded by the Jesuits in 1613, which is not only the oldest university in the country but also one of the first in Latin America.
Córdoba is currently the second biggest city in the Republic of Argentina, with a population of approximately 1,250,000 inhabitants.

IMPORTANT:
Argentina Reciprocity Fee for U.S. and Canadian Citizens
To enter Argentina, citizens of the countries listed below must pay a “reciprocity fee”. The collection of this “reciprocity fee” is NOT A VISA, since Argentina does not require visas to citizens of those nations for tourism or business.
The Argentine government fixed this admission fee in an amount equal to that paid by Argentines applying for Visas to these countries:
U.S.: USD $ 160. – (Multiple entries for 10 years)
Canada: USD $ 75. – (One entry) or USD $ 150. – (Multiple entries for 5 years, from the first entry)
Australia: USD $ 100. – (Multiple entries for 1 year)
UBP recommends that students pay the fee before coming to Argentina on-line, by accessing this site: http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesible/templates/reciprocidad/reciprocidad.htm to avoid delays at the airport.
