Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz
The 1853 Argentine Constitution was created in the city of Santa Fe
de la Vera Cruz. All of its subsequent amendments - the last one in
1994 - were also made there.
Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz is linked to Paraná, capital of the
Province of Entre Ríos, through a 2,397 m tunnel under the great
river Paraná.
The city has a modern riverside walk and preserves some buildings from
colonial times surrounding Plaza San Martín and Plaza de Mayo,
in the centre of the old town. Inside the church of La Merced there
is a painting of the Virgen de los Milagros, thought to be the oldest
painting made in the country. The Convent of San Francisco has an image
of the Nazareno and houses the History Museum.
