Introduction

The National Flag Memorial stands on the Paraná riverfront in Rosario, marking where General Manuel Belgrano first raised the Argentine flag in 1812. Designed by architect Ángel Guido, its tower, cloisters and riverfront plaza form a solemn memorial ensemble, with the flag's history displayed in underground halls. A symbol of Argentine national identity, it hosts flag-raising ceremonies and national celebrations year round, and is Rosario's weightiest historic landmark and city viewpoint. The riverfront walk links the old town and docks; an evening stroll best reveals this port city's calm.
