“That church looks strangely familiar,” a voice whispered, “like something out of a medieval fairytale.” You might find yourselves echoing that sentiment as you stand before the Iglesia Santa Rita. Don’t let its unassuming presence fool you. The Iglesia Santa Rita holds a special place in the heart of Córdoba. This Neo-Gothic masterpiece, completed in 1886, whispers tales of a bygone era. It was born from the vision of engineer Juan Col and the generosity of Doña Juana Francisca Cabral. Imagine the bustling halls of the former women’s hospital of Santa Rita, where this church once served as a sanctuary of peace and prayer. The Iglesia Santa Rita has witnessed the changing tides of time. In 2011, it embraced a new chapter, becoming home to Corrientes’ first Perpetual Adoration Chapel. Today, the Iglesia Santa Rita stands as a testament to enduring faith and architectural grandeur.
