Departamento de La Capital's Must-See Highlights

Santa Fe's Departamento de La Capital is defined by its colonial heritage and engineering landmarks. The city features 17th-century religious architecture like the Convento de San Francisco and the Jesuit Sanctuary of Our Lady of Miracles. The iconic Puente Colgante suspension bridge spans the Setúbal Lagoon, a central hub for recreation. Visitors can explore regional history at the Ethnographic Museum or enjoy the local artisanal ice cream culture that thrives throughout the district.
