The historical center: In 1978 the rural town of Areco began a phase of patrimonial protection of the architecture.
A lot of buildings of creole style were rescued. The Patrimonial Protection Zone was transformed in time into one of the biggest turistical attractions.
In 1999 San Antonio de Areco was declared by the Presidency of the Nation a Historical Town of National Interest. To walk through the town’s atmosphere is a charming experience.
