The tourists who get to play Golf in Argentina will be able to visit this magnifies Estancias.
In
1599, the Jesuits settled in Córdoba,
where since 1589 there already existed a small
chapel which soon became insufficient to house
the religious people, students and the faithful.
Therefore, in 1608 the building works that
would later turn into the present Jesuit block
began. Subsequently, they were granted new
plots of land in this same block.
By then, the Colegio Máximo
had already been founded. Later, it became
the base of the University, while in 1782
the Real Convictorio de Nuestra Señora
de Monserrat occupied the southern section
of the ancient Colegio Máximo. As time
went by, the image and occupation of the block
underwent a process of change, there remaining
only a part of this historic Jesuit property.
Nowadays, next to the Iglesia de la Compañía
there is the main building of the President's
Office of the Universidad Nacional,
and both the Biblioteca Mayor and
the Facultad de Abogacía (the
School of Law) are located there as well;
next to them, at the corner, the Colegio
Nacional de Monserrat is located. On the
other side of the church is the Jesuits' house,
and at the entrance, the Capilla Doméstica,
a small building with features similar to
those of the church at the corner.
