Jesuit Block and Estancias of Cordoba

Jesuit Block and Estancias of Cordoba represent the most complete Jesuit educational network in South America, with 6 rural estancias connected to a central urban block. The complex spans 2.5 square kilometers of architectural heritage, 30% more compact than typical mission sites but 40% more efficient in student capacity. 1,200 indigenous laborers built its baroque structures between 1599 and 1767, a workforce density that outperforms #1 Iguazu's modern construction projects. The block still functions as a university campus, housing 15,000 annual students.
