About San Miguel de Tucumán
San Miguel de Tucumán, capital of Argentina's smallest province, is the city where independence was declared in 1816, set below forested hills.
San Miguel de Tucumán sits on a plain at the foot of the Sierra de San Javier in Argentina's north-west. The Casa Histórica de la Independencia, with the hall where congress declared independence from Spain on 9 July 1816, is the city's best-known building. Around the Plaza Independencia stand the government house, the cathedral and the pedestrian streets of the centre.
