History

{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2022}}(File:Vista de la ciudad de Salta, según Besnes e Irigoyen.tif|thumb|left|View of Salta in 1851 by painter Juan Manuel Besnes e Irigoyen)Salta was founded on April 16, 1582, by the Spanish conquistador Hernando de Lerma, who intended the settlement to be an outpost between Lima, Peru and Buenos Aires. The origin of the name Salta is a matter of conjecture, with several theories being advanced to explain it.During the war of independence, the city became a commercial and military strategic point between Perú and the Argentine cities. Between 1816 and 1821, the city was led by local military leader General Martín Miguel de Güemes, who under the command of General José de San Martín, defended the city and surrounding area from Spanish forces coming from further north.Salta emerged from the War of Independence politically in disarray and financially bankrupt, a condition that lingered throughout much of the 19th century. However, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the arrival of Italian, Spanish, British, and Arab immigrants, particularly Syrians and Lebanese, revived trade and agriculture all over the area while further enhancing the city’s multicultural flavor.BOOK,books.google.com/books?id=JudkOxzU3p4C&dq=salta+argentina+revive+after+war+immigrants&pg=PA151, Argentina, 1516-1982: From Spanish Colonization to the Falklands War, 978-0-520-05189-8, Rock, David, 1985, University of California Press,

Geography

Climate

Salta has a subtropical highland climate (Cwb, according to the Köppen climate classification), and it is characterized by pleasant weather year-round.WEB,municipalidadsalta.gob.ar/historia/, Historia y Geografía, Municipality of Salta, es, 5 February 2018, Located in the subtropical north, but at an altitude of 1,200 metres, Salta enjoys 4 distinct seasons: summers are warm with frequent thunderstorms, with daytime highs around {{convert|26|to|28|C|F|1}} and pleasant, refreshing nights around {{convert|15|or|16|C|F}}. Fall brings dry weather, pleasant days at around {{convert|22|C|F|1}} and mild nights at around {{convert|10|C|F|1}}. By winter, the dryness is extreme, with very few rain episodes. Nights are cool at {{convert|3|C|F|1}} on average, but daytime heating allows for high temperatures of {{convert|19|C|F|1}}. Snow is rare and frost is quite common, with temperatures reaching down to {{convert|-7|C|F|1}} during the coldest nights. Spring brings sunny weather with warm days and mild nights: days range from {{convert|25|to|28|C|F|1}} with nights between {{convert|10|and|14|C|F|1}}. Salta’s winters are rather warm for its elevation and far inland position for a location being just outside the tropics.Of the over {{convert|700|mm|in|0}} of rain that Salta receives yearly, over 80% falls between December and March, when thunderstorms occur almost daily. During the rest of the year, blue skies dominate the region. Seemingly incessant summer thunderstorms greatly rejuvenate the surrounding mountainous landscape, making the various hills and mountainsides within the vicinity of the city green and lush once again. Salta receives 1863 hours of bright sunshine each year or about 5.1 hours per day.WEB,www.arquinstal.com.ar/atlas/datos/00anual.html, es, Datos Climáticos de Argentina: Annuales, April 12, 2013, The

Attractions

The city centre features a number of buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th and early 20th centuries. Clockwise around the Ninth of July Square are the neoclassical Cathedral Shrine, the French style Museum of Contemporary Art, the Cabildo (in former times, the city’s town hall, nowadays a historical museum) and the neoclassical Museum of High Mountain Archaeology, which houses artifacts from the Inca civilization, including the mummies of three Inca children. The Plaza is almost completely surrounded by a gallery.Within walking distance of the July 9th Square are the Saint Francis Church and the city’s three pedestrian streets: Alberdi, Florida and “Caseros”. The three blocks in Balcarce street closest to the train station are now the centre of night life in Salta, with restaurants, pubs and cafés on both sidewalks and concerts every night.Rising in the east is San Bernardo Hill. Its summit, from which visitors can get a view of the city and the entire valley, can be reached by car, cable car or stairway.File:Gondola in Salta, Argentina.jpg|A cable car (gondola) in Salta near Plaza del LagoFile:Salta - Convento de San Francisco - Nocturno.jpg|The Church of Saint FrancisFile:Catedral de Salta (552008).jpg|The main cathedralFile:Catedral de Salta.jpg|Inside the cathedralFile:Calle Mitre - Salta.jpg|Mitre StreetFile:Hotel Colonial - Salta.jpg|The Colonial HotelFile:Plaza 9 de Julio - Salta.jpg|Ninth of July PlazaFile:Newstand in Salt, Argentina.jpg|Corner newsstand in SaltaFile:Waterfountain at Plaza del Lago.jpg|Waterfountain and paddleboats to rent at Plaza del Lago in Salta

Culture and arts

{{wide image|Bannière_Salta_2.JPG|650px|View of Salta, Northwestern Argentina}}Salta is probably the most Spanish city in Argentina by physical appearance: so much so that tourists visiting from Spain often find a strong resemblance between Salta and Andalucian cities.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}} The local culture, however, is a blend of Spanish and gaucho (mestizo, criollo, both indigenous and non-indigenous) traditions, lending the city a distinctive identity, somewhat different from the more European-like metropolises to the south.The city boasts three theatres, several museums (one of which exhibits the perfectly preserved bodies of {{circa|500}} year old Inca children sacrificed in the Andes to Inca godsWEB,news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6983300.stm, Mummified Inca maiden wows crowds, BBC News, 2007-09-07, 2014-04-22, ), and a busy calendar of art exhibitions, shows, music festivals, and other cultural events.One of the main activities in Salta is the April Culture Festival, which lasts the entire month and offers a wide variety of activities such as cultural performances, a handcraft exposition, and live orchestral performances.

Sports

Salta residents, like most Argentines, are very enthusiastic about football. The most important local clubs are Juventud Antoniana, Gimnasia y Tiro de Salta, and Central Norte; many faithful fans follow each. These three clubs currently play in the third national division.Other locally popular sports include baseball (a game in which Salta players excel nationally{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}), basketball, volleyball, rugby, and mountaineering.The main sporting venue in Salta is the Padre Ernesto Martearena Stadium; the Gimnasia y Tiro and Juventud Antoniana stadiums also see many athletic matches. The largest roofed facility in the city is the Ciudad de Salta Stadium, chiefly used for basketball, volleyball, and boxing.Over the last forty years, Salta has played host to such high-profile international sporting events as the 1990 Basketball World Cup, the 1994 Camel Trophy, the 2002 Volleyball World Cup, and the 2009 Hockey Champions Challenge.
