Córdoba is the capital of the Córdoba province and the second largest city in Argentina. Named after the city in Spain, Córdoba is filled with numerous buildings left over from the colonial-era, most notably the city's Jesuit Block, which has remained intact for over three centuries. In contrast to its well-preserved past, Córdoba is Argentina's heavy industrial and technological center. Automobile, aircraft, and railway factories dot the city, along with the agricultural processing facilities typical of an Argentine city.

Córdoba is also referred to as the "nightlife city" because of its rich musical, wine, and cheese culture. If any city is to march Argentina boldly into the future, it's Córdoba.
