Salta - Colonial architecture

As far as Colonial Architecture is concerned, Salta is one of Argentina's jewels, along with Cordoba and Tucuman. All this is due to Salta being one of Argentina's oldest city. Founded in 1582 by Fernando de Lerma just two years short of Buenos Aire´s second foundation in 1580.

As many other Spanish colonial Cities, Salta is generously decorated with balconies and colonial style street lamps, even in the areas that were built recently.
