About Estancia Jesuítica de Alta Gracia
The Estancia Jesuítica de Alta Gracia was established by the Jesuits in the seventeenth century as an agricultural estate worked by enslaved laborers to fund their college in Córdoba. After the 1767 Jesuit expulsion from Spanish America, it passed to private owners, including Viceroy Santiago de Liniers. It belonged to a network of Jesuit estancias in colonial Córdoba.
