The walking tour of the city is recommended to start from the historic center to be able to easily connect with the rest of the most emblematic sites and thus begin to delve into the history and culture of this wonderful city.
The historic center is located around the Plaza 9 de Julio or also known as Plaza de Armas (Bartolomé Miter and Caseros), where our circuit will begin. Around this park you will see that there are the most important and oldest buildings in the city, it is also a green space with trees, palm trees, seats and a water source where you can take a few minutes to take photos and look at the whole environment that surrounds the center of Salta.
In front of the Plaza de Armas you can see El Calbildo, the Museo del Norte, the Catedral, the Cultural Center América, the Teatro Provincial and the renowned Museo de Alta Montaña (MAAM).
A particularity that distinguishes to this plaza among others in Argentina is that the arch that surrounds it in almost its entirety remains intact practitioner. Its conservation and that of the surrounding historic center are due to more than twenty resolutions decreed mostly throughout the 1990s. The square has more than 250 specimens of different tree species and with more than 7000 dwarf flower seedlings (each tree and plant has a sign that mentions the species).
