• Parroquia San Antonio de Padua - Situated on Segundo Sombra Street, between Alsina and Arrellano. Don José Ruiz de Arellano established the first oratory at the heart of his estate. This oratory’s foundation was crucial for the town’s development. Between 1720 and 1728, the first chapel was constructed, slightly to the right of the current location. The foundation stone of the present church was laid on February 7, 1869, and was buried beneath the central entrance. Inside, a lead box containing original records on parchment, newspapers of the day, medals, and coins was placed.

Don Segundo Ramírez, the gaucho who inspired a character in Ricardo Güiraldes’ novel, frequented this spot. Today, it remains a popular meeting place with a rich history of local countryside characters.
