At the end of last week, Concordia was officially distinguished as “Art Nouveau City of America 2025”, in a ceremony led by the mayor Francisco Azcué. During the event, the Bishopric of Concordia was also declared an “Emblematic Art Nouveau Building”, in recognition of its heritage value and its representativeness within this artistic movement.
The distinctions were granted by the Art Nouveau Association of Buenos Aires (AANBA), led by its president Willy Pastrana, who attended along with specialists and representatives of the entity, which will allow Concordia to actively participate in programs and actions aimed at strengthening its visibility and projection at a national and international level.
It should be remembered that in 2024, Concordia was incorporated as the ninth city to join the Argentine Art Nouveau Route, becoming the first in the Mesopotamia region to be part of this prestigious circuit that brings together cities that preserve and promote the architectural and artistic legacy of the movement.
Within the framework of the event, the formal delivery of the Declarations of Interest took place. The distinction was declared of Municipal and Cultural Interest by the Municipal Executive Department, and of Municipal Interest by the Deliberative Council of Concordia, which was delivered by the municipal vice-president Magdalena Reta de Urquiza. Both recognitions highlight the heritage and tourist value that this appointment represents for the city.
The event was attended by the Secretary of Productive Development, Federico Schattenhofer; the president of AANBA, Willy Pastrana; the executive director of the Mixed Concordiense Tourism Entity (EMCONTUR), Laureano Schvartzman; Monsignor Luis Collazuol, representing the Bishopric of Concordia; and the coordinator of Museums and Heritage Management, Alejandro Fruncieri.
