CITY OF CORDOBA. The 450th anniversary of the founding of the city of Córdoba is commemorated. The capital of the province was founded on July 6, 1573 by the Spanish Jerónimo Luis de Cabrera.
On July 6, 1573, the Sevillian Jerónimo Luis de Cabrera founded the city of Córdoba in Nueva Andalucía on the banks of the Suquía river. The name chosen was a tribute to the native land of his wife’s maternal family, Luisa Martel De los Ríos.
According to data from the Historical Archive, the authorities decided to transfer Córdoba to the southern bank of the Suquía River four years following the city was founded, in 1577.
The then Lieutenant Governor Don Lorenzo Suárez de Figueroa drew the first plan of the city, of seventy blocks in checkerboard. The document gives an account of a city with ten blocks long and seven wide.

The city of Córdoba was declared the provisional capital on two occasions: the first, in 1806, during the English invasions of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata and then, in 1955, during the events of the military coup calling itself the Liberating Revolution.
In 1813, Córdoba had the original 72 blocks of the foundation, distributed in 12 barracks where more than 8,500 people lived. (Wikipedia / Edisur Group)
