Reconquista
General Obligado · Argentina
Founded in 1872 as a military fort by Colonel Manuel Obligado on land once belonging to the Jesuit mission Reducción San Jerónimo del Rey, Reconquista is the largest city in northern Santa Fe province, sitting alongside a branch of the Paraná River opposite Goya, Corrientes. The two cities face each other across a maze of streams and wetlands crossable only by boat, with a road link long under discussion.
