The capital is the city of Córdoba, Argentina's second-largest city (approximately 1.6 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area), known for its colonial heritage, such as the Jesuit Block and Estancias (a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000) and the country's oldest university (established in 1613).
The economy is diverse: strong in industry (cars such as Fiat, Renault, and Mercedes; agricultural machinery), agriculture (grains, soy), food processing, and services.
Tourism is important thanks to the Sierras de Córdoba (mountains with peaks up to 2,790 m, such as Cerro Champaquí), valleys (Punilla, Calamuchita, and Traslasierra), lakes, rivers, and resorts such as Villa Carlos Paz.
The landscape varies from flat pampas in the east to mountains in the west, with a temperate climate.
Córdoba has a rich history: a colonial center, the cradle of the university reform (1918), and industrial growth after World War II.
