About Cabildo de Jujuy
The Cabildo de Jujuy occupies one side of Plaza Belgrano and is part of the historic ensemble of San Salvador. The building is linked to city government during the colonial period. The façade and corridors show a different scale than that of the Casa de Gobierno, located on the opposite side of the square.
The museum housed in the complex presents provincial history through rooms with visual and audiovisual resources. The route covers the formation of the region, colonial life, and events associated with Manuel Belgrano. Rather than just looking at the façade, the visit allows you to follow the themes across different spaces.
Allow time for the exhibition areas and confirm the type of visit before you go. The Cabildo can be combined with a stroll around the square, but deserves more than an external stop. For families, it's worth taking the route unhurriedly and talking about the differences between the buildings that make up the historic center.
