One of the must-visit sights in Cordoba is Manzana Jesuitica - a complex of nine Jesuit churches that are listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. This site is home to many historical attractions such as La Compania de Jesus Church and Colegio Nacional de Monserrat - one of Argentina's oldest universities.
