Belgrano Tour

Not only does his tour distinguish Rosario landmarks where Manuel Belgrano passed through during his journey, but also the historical circumstances that contributed to the creation and raising of the Argentinian flag on February 27th, 1812.

During the revolutionary period, Rosario's features were quite distinct from its brand-new ones. Formerly known as “Pago de los Arroyos," our city only had 600 inhabitants who settled in a 15-block area, but this land has always been strategically located. Facing the danger of royalist  invasions,  Belgrano found in these lands a favorable scenario for the creation of a patriotic insignia that would differentiate the revolutionary army from the royalist militia.
