📅 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁: 8/11/2022 💬 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 - 5 Came here as we had a layover for the bus at the terminal, and realized all this time I've been in Tucuman, I hadn't seen la casa historica... the Independence Hall of Philadelphia for Argentina. 🗺️ 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 - 5 La Casa Historica has a superb location near downtown, which is closed off to thru traffic, which I actually prefer for easy walking. 💲 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗘 - N/A There was no price to enter, it was free to the public, during typical business hours. 🏛️ 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧/𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘 - N/A Not much of any services rendered, as it is a historical site. 📢 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦/𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗞𝗦 - N/A Be sure if you don't speak Spanish that you have a translator, as it can be hard to understand everything. 💁‍♂️‍ 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗬𝗘𝗘𝗦 - N/A Didn't really interact with any employees, but we did see two tranditional soldiers, that are similar to the British soldiers around the the queen's castle, they don't interact, they're primarily there for show.
It is one of the most emblematic buildings in the history and culture of Argentina. Although throughout its long history it has undergone many modifications, and one could say that little remains of its original construction, this does not take away its historical and symbolic value. It is recommended to visit it with the guided tours and the night show, which offers a historical overview of the independence struggle. This show lasts approximately half an hour and it is necessary to register in a list. Entrance is free.
Very well preserved, nice explanation of history, good staff. It's free.
Amazing experience of authentic argentinian history 💓
Icon of tucuman and it makes a lot of sense to Argentiniana though it could be better explained for foreigners.
Interesting place, well explained though in Spanish only. From a historical point of view, the account in the museum is accurate, balanced, and asks a lot of fascinating questions. Unless the debate republic vs monarchy, central vs federal, self government vs independence. Unfortunately it's all text, there's hardly any multimedia material except intro to the 29 representatives who signed the declaration of independence.
Really cool, not too much there and the machine didn't work and there was a enterance fee. Still cool place a must see if you're around.
Excellent leisure time free entry museum walking area. Great pieces history of Argentina in Tucuman. Reading everything it can take 50 minutes tops. Great walking area afterwards.

Arrived at night and there it was with those lights, lovely.
The govenment house of Tucuman dates from the early 1900s built in a period style by the government to show the opulence and wealth of the province at that time.
(Translated by Google) A building with incredible architecture, inside and out. Thanks to our guide, we were able to see the Hall of Mirrors and the mausoleum of Juan Bautista Alberdi. The only thing I didn't like was the Palace guide, Sue. She seemed very rude and arrogant. She rushed us and almost didn't let us take photos of the place because supposedly children were behind us who "couldn't be photographed without consent." "Ma'am, if I take a picture of the ceiling, where does the child come out?" Needless to say, the children didn't enter until after we left. It seemed to me that the lady was giving herself a place that wasn't hers, acting as if it were her home instead of a public office. And even more so when I found out that she chained herself to avoid being retired. (Original) Un edificio con una arquitectura increíble, por dentro y por fuera. Pudimos observar, gracias a la gestión de nuestro guía, el Salón de los Espejos y el mausoleo de Juan Bautista Alberdi. Lo único que no me gustó es la guía del Palacio, Su o Sue, me pareció muy maleducada y prepotente, nos apuró y casi no nos dejó sacar fotos del lugar porque supuestamente atrás nuestro venían niños que "no podían ser fotografiados sin consentimiento", señora yo si le saco una foto al techo, ¿Dónde sale el niño/a? De más está decir que los niños no entraron hasta después de que salimos nosotros. Me pareció que la señora se otorga un lugar que no le corresponde, actuando como si fuera su casa en lugar de una dependencia pública. Y más aún cuando me enteré que se encadenó para que no la jubilen.
(Translated by Google) The place offers completely free guided tours for tourists. You can visit the beautiful white room and also the tomb of Juan Bautista Alberdi. The woman who gave us a tour was extremely kind and explained the paintings and details of the place in great detail. Thank you for welcoming us so warmly, Tucumán. It was wonderful to visit you. (Original) El lugar ofrece visitas guiadas para turistas completamente gratuitas. Uno puede visitar el salón blanco el cual es precioso y también la tumba de Juan Bautista Alberdi. La señora que nos dió un tour fue súper amable, nos explico con lujo de detalles las pinturas y detalles del lugar. Gracias por recibirnos tan bien Tucumán. Fue hermoso poder visitarlos.

La Merced is one of the four nicest churches in Downtown Tucuman, built by the Mercedary order, it also houses historical items from the Argentine independence battles.
(Translated by Google) On vacation and with family. Minor basilica in honor of the Virgin Mary enthroned in the Virgin of Mercy, declared by Manuel Belgrano, general of the northern army. It is not the original temple, this one is from 1950. It was declared a national historic site and the camarin de la Virgen, a national historic monument. Closes during siesta hours. There are paintings describing the delivery by Belgrano of the scepter of command to the virgin. (Original) De vacaciones y en familia.

(Translated by Google) Steeped in history, this basilica is an icon in the city of Tucumán. We were able to experience the annual festival that draws crowds. It is the Virgin to whom Manuel Belgrano offered his staff as an offering for being the captain of the army that repelled the royalist attack. Tucumán is steeped in the history of Argentine independence. (Original) Llena de historia, está basílica es un icono en la ciudad de Tucumán. Nos tocó vivir la fiesta que se celebra todos los años y que convoca multitudes. Es la Virgen a quien Manuel Belgrano ofreció si baston como ofrenda por ser la capitana del ejército que repelio el ataque realista. Tucumán está lleno de historia de la independencia argentina
(Translated by Google) In addition to its religious heritage, I recommend visiting to see the Spanish army standards, captured in the battles of Humahuaca and Salta. For those of us who enjoy our history, they are a true gem. The frescoes depict the moment when General Manuel Belgrano offers his staff of command to the Virgin of Mercy. The staff on display is a replica, as the original is in the custody of the National Army, as I was told. The place is not open permanently, so I recommend checking its hours. (Original) Además del patrimonio religioso, recomiendo visitarla para ver los estandartes del ejército español, obtenidos en las batallas de Humahuaca y de Salta. Para los que disfrutamos con nuestra historia, son una verdadera joya. Los frescos reflejan el momento en que el General Manuel Belgrano le ofrenda a la Virgen de la Merced, su bastón de mando. El bastón que se expone es una réplica, dado que el original lo custodia el Ejército Nacional, según me explicaron. El lugar no está permanentemente abierto, re comiendo preguntar sus horarios.

(Translated by Google) After having belonged to the Jesuits and, some time later, to the Dominicans, the temple became part of the Franciscan order. Begun in 1873, when it was decided to demolish the old temple that was showing worrying signs of deterioration, it was inaugurated in 1891. For this purpose, the Italian Franciscan architect Friar Luis Giorgi was summoned. It was the main headquarters of the first Franciscan School in Argentina. Among its attractions, the table where the act of Independence was signed, the first national flag flown in Tucumán, the main altar that was made by indigenous people from the missions, and the tomb of Monsignor José Agustín Molina stand out. The temple was declared a National Historical Monument in 1964. The convent, created in 1902 on the old Jesuit school, was also declared a National Historical Monument in 1987.

(Translated by Google) I am glad that the State is taking charge of the restoration. As for the community, which governed the Convent, in 1982, it was very "selective", we were not able to visit the Church, it was the middle of summer, and my Lady was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, but not low-cut. For this reason, to this day I only know him through photos. Draw conclusions.... (Original) Me alegro que el Estado, se haga cargo de la restauración.

(Translated by Google) The house was built around 1870, by Federico Helguera, governor of Tucumán. In 1954, the Economic Federation of Tucumán purchased the property from the descendants and converted it into its headquarters. The upper house has a construction with Italianate features and was carried out by the Architect José Graña. Its front was inspired by the Plateresque architecture of the 16th century and its assembled bars, imitating those of the famous Palacio de las Conchas in Salamanca (Spain), as well as the plinth of polychrome Sevillian tiles as can be seen in the hallway and the first patio, where we also see a white marble cistern. Its appearance takes us back to the Spanish Renaissance and its interiors follow the Andalusian tradition, with the door openings and windows assembled, with semicircular arches and decorated tiles. (Original) La casa fue construida alrededor de 1870, por Federico Helguera, gobernador de Tucumán. En el año 1954, la Federación Económica de Tucumán, compra la propiedad a los descendientes, y la convierte en su sede. La casa de altos posee una construcción de rasgos italianizantes y fue llevada a cabo por el Arquitecto José Graña. Su frente fue inspirado por la arquitectura plateresca del siglo XVI y sus rejas ensambladas, imitando las del famoso Palacio de las Conchas de Salamanca (España), como así también el zócalo de azulejos policromados sevillanos como pueden verse en el zaguán y el primer patio, donde también observamos un aljibe de mármol blanco. Su apariencia nos remonta al Renacimiento Español y sus interiores siguen la tradición andaluza, con los vanos de las puertas y las ventanas ensambladas, con arcos de medio punto y azulejos decorados.

La Merced is one of the four nicest churches in Downtown Tucuman, built by the Mercedary order, it also houses historical items from the Argentine independence battles.
(Translated by Google) On vacation and with family. Minor basilica in honor of the Virgin Mary enthroned in the Virgin of Mercy, declared by Manuel Belgrano, general of the northern army. It is not the original temple, this one is from 1950. It was declared a national historic site and the camarin de la Virgen, a national historic monument. Closes during siesta hours. There are paintings describing the delivery by Belgrano of the scepter of command to the virgin. (Original) De vacaciones y en familia. Basílica menor en honor a la virgen maría entronizada en la virgen de la Merced, declarada por Manuel Belgrano, generala del ejército del norte. No es el templo original, este es de 1950.

Hay pinturas describiendo la entrega por parte de Belgrano, del cetro de mando a la virgen.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful Church, visited 8/17/25. (Original) Hermosa Iglesia, visitada 17/8/25.
(Translated by Google) Steeped in history, this basilica is an icon in the city of Tucumán. We were able to experience the annual festival that draws crowds. It is the Virgin to whom Manuel Belgrano offered his staff as an offering for being the captain of the army that repelled the royalist attack. Tucumán is steeped in the history of Argentine independence. (Original) Llena de historia, está basílica es un icono en la ciudad de Tucumán. Nos tocó vivir la fiesta que se celebra todos los años y que convoca multitudes. Es la Virgen a quien Manuel Belgrano ofreció si baston como ofrenda por ser la capitana del ejército que repelio el ataque realista. Tucumán está lleno de historia de la independencia argentina
(Translated by Google) In addition to its religious heritage, I recommend visiting to see the Spanish army standards, captured in the battles of Humahuaca and Salta. For those of us who enjoy our history, they are a true gem. The frescoes depict the moment when General Manuel Belgrano offers his staff of command to the Virgin of Mercy. The staff on display is a replica, as the original is in the custody of the National Army, as I was told. The place is not open permanently, so I recommend checking its hours. (Original) Además del patrimonio religioso, recomiendo visitarla para ver los estandartes del ejército español, obtenidos en las batallas de Humahuaca y de Salta. Para los que disfrutamos con nuestra historia, son una verdadera joya. Los frescos reflejan el momento en que el General Manuel Belgrano le ofrenda a la Virgen de la Merced, su bastón de mando. El bastón que se expone es una réplica, dado que el original lo custodia el Ejército Nacional, según me explicaron. El lugar no está permanentemente abierto, re comiendo preguntar sus horarios.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Bicentennial Monument in Tucumán. I'll show you the video of it snowing on June 30, 2025. (Original) Hermoso monumento al Bicentenario en Tucuman. Paso mostrar el video cuando estuvo nevando el 30 de Junio del 2025
(Translated by Google) It is the monument that the city of Tucuman made for the 200 years of Argentine independence. It seems to me to be a modern, symbolic monument that enhances the area. In my opinion, a beautiful contribution. It is in front of Avellaneda Park. I think I read that the concrete stripes symbolize the white of the Tucuman flag and in the center you can see the blue sky. And at night they illuminate it blue, and in the middle a fountain, with white water, that is, the Argentine flag. During the day the Tucumán flag and at night the Argentine flag. At least that's what I like to interpret. (Original) Es el monumento que hizo la ciudad de Tucuman por los 200 años de la independencia argentina. Me parece un monumento moderno, simbólico y que valoriza la zona. En mi opinión, un hermoso aporte. Queda frente al parque Avellaneda. Creo haber leído que las franjas de concreto simbolizan el blanco de la bandera de Tucuman y en el centro se ve el cielo celeste. Y por las noches lo iluminan de azul, y en el medio una fuente, con agua blanca, o sea la bandera argentina. De día la bandera tucumana y de noche la argentina. Al menos es lo que me gusta interpretar.
(Translated by Google) Much prettier up close than from afar (Original) Mucho más lindo de cerca que de lejos
(Translated by Google) More than a monument to the bicentennial, it is surely a terrible money laundering, but hey... it is very nice (Original) Mas que monumento al bicentenario, seguramente es un terrible lavado de dinero,pero bueno...esta muy lindo
(Translated by Google) Criticized by many, but I like it. Leaving aside the economic situation the province is going through, I must say that I like it. It gave another life to the area. And more so at night, it is a place where now boyfriends, girls turning 15, or someone who is just graduating, come to take photos at this monument. There is no writing about tastes, I like it!! (Original) Criticado, por muchos, pero a mi me gusta. Dejando de lado, la situación económica por la cual pasa la provincia, debo decir que a mi me gusta. Le dio otra vida a la zona. Y más de noche, es un lugar en donde ahora los novios, las chicas que cumplen 15, o alguno que se recibe, viene a sacarse fotos a este monumento. Sobre gustos no hay escrito, a mi me gusta !!
(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful symbol of patriotism. The design is perfect. Perhaps it would look better during the day if the cement were colored, but they light it up at night. In a country like ours, where we have so much, people should be more patriotic and demonstrate it with actions. Not just have a monument that embodies it. (Original) Es un hermoso símbolo de patriotismo. El diseño es perfecto. Quizás se vería mejor de día si tiviera color el cemento, pero lo iluminan durante la noche. En un país como el nuestro donde tenemos tanto deberían ser más patriotas las personas y demostrarlo con hechos. No solamente que tengamos un monumento que lo materialice.
