Museums:

There are 22 museums in the city of Córdoba, which are owned by private companies, the province and the municipality. The municipal museums are the following:

Obispo Fray José Antonio de San Alberto Museum: This museum has an odd belfry in an angle and permanent exhibitions of religious images. It is located next to the Colegio de las Huérfanas (Orphans’ School), one of the first centers of women’s education in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata in which the first printing press in the country started to work around the mid 18th century.

Juan de Tejeda Religious Art Museum: Beautiful religious art relics are exhibited here. Its atmosphere is so unique that in the courtyard, a visitor can feel away from the dizzy speed of the town center.

Deán Gregorio Funes Eclesiastics Museum and Obispo Mercadillo Municipal Exhibition Center: The museum is a picturesque building that dates back to the 18th century. In this building, where the forged iron balcony stands out, permanent shows and exhibitions are held.
