Discover Morón

Morón brings together historic sites and museums with a nearby nature reserve. These themes can help guide your travel planning: consider whether you are more interested in local history, aviation, the rooms of a cathedral museum, or different types of landscapes. This will give you a clear impression of Morón and the Partido de Morón, which should be distinguished from the city; the Reserva Natural Urbana de Morón nearby adds different areas of vegetation to the cultural themes.

Plaza, Monument and Relief Art in Morón

Plaza del Libertador General San Martín is designated a National Historic Site; the national decree making the designation dates from August 16, 2022. The Monumento a la Independencia Nacional stands in the plaza and was inaugurated in 1937. The designation of the plaza and the monument’s inauguration year refer to two distinct historical associations with the same place. The exterior walls of the Palacio Municipal feature four relief murals by artist and sculptor José Fioravanti. Together, the plaza, monument and reliefs offer different points of focus between history and visual art.

Aviation and Museum Spaces

The Museo Nacional de Aeronáutica displays aircraft in two hangars and on an outdoor platform. The exhibition is therefore spread across indoor spaces and an outdoor area. By contrast, the Museo de la Catedral focuses on three rooms: an ornate room, a documentary room, and the Capilla de la Aflicción. The two museums thus differ in their spatial layout. If you are interested in aviation, the division of the aircraft between hangars and an outdoor platform is a notable feature; at the cathedral museum, the three differently named rooms shape the focus of a visit.

Nature Nearby

In the area near Morón, in Castelar Sur, lies the Reserva Natural Urbana de Morón. It covers 14.5 hectares and includes areas of Pampas grassland, native woodland typical of the tala forests of Buenos Aires Province, and spontaneous woodlands, or neo-ecosystems. Exotic species predominate in the latter over native ones. Several types of vegetation are therefore found side by side, rather than the reserve being defined by just one kind of landscape. For your planning, this natural setting adds a distinct perspective on the area around Morón to its historic and cultural sites.

More Cultural and Historical Themes in the Partido de Morón

The Casa de la Memoria y la Vida now occupies the former grounds of Mansión Seré in the Partido de Morón; the former Ccd was called “Mansión Seré.” The mansion originally belonged to Leocadia Seré, the daughter of a Basque immigrant and founder of Quinta Seré. In 1900, a two-story French-style palace was built on the estate using materials imported from Europe. The estate’s architectural history and its present-day commemorative role belong to different periods. Also in the Partido de Morón, the symbolic Gallo de Morón on Plaza del Libertador General San Martín commemorates the cockfights of the colonial era.
