About this Stone
This historic quarter is one of the most charming old towns in South America, where cobblestone streets wind past pastel-colored houses that blend Portuguese and Spanish colonial architecture. Founded in 1680 as a strategic military post, the neighborhood's unusual street layout still bears the marks of the centuries-long tug-of-war between colonial powers. Walking here feels like stepping into a quiet time capsule, where centuries-old buildings stand virtually unchanged and the pace of life seems to have shifted into a different era.
