The capital of the province is located 1,145km. away from the city of Buenos Aires and 520m. above sea level. To get to this city from Buenos Aires one must take national route No. 9 up to Córdoba and then carry on down national route No. 60. The city is definitely colonial in style and its main attractions are its temples and convents, the most outstanding of which is the convent of San Francisco. The site known as Cuesta del Portezuelo is very near the city and offers a panoramic view of the entire valley.
