Local points of interest for a stay in Francisco Alvarez include the Torre del Embarcadero, the historic railway station, Plaza de la Libertad, and camping and glamping at Estancia El Dorado. Planning involves considering both the different historical periods and the specific accommodation features at the estancia.

History and Monuments

The Torre del Embarcadero dates from the 1940s and 1950s and was declared a historic and cultural heritage site by municipal ordinance in 2021. Francisco Álvarez railway station was built in the Partido de Moreno at the beginning of the 20th century. These two historical points of reference therefore belong to different periods of the century; the Torre was designated as heritage later still.

The railway station had two loading areas. They were used to collect dairy products and to load and unload livestock. These specific functions give the historic station a different focus from the Torre, whose construction period and subsequent heritage designation are the main points of interest.

Plaza de la Libertad underwent extensive renovation. The work enhanced its monuments and replaced missing ones. The plaza is also home to the Statue of Liberty, considered Moreno’s oldest monument. The condition of individual monuments may change; if you want to see a particular one, check its current condition in advance.
