Poised on the edge of the barely populated wilderness of the Chaco (of which province it’s the capital), baking-hot Resistencia isn’t the most likely candidate for the garland of artistic center of northern Argentina. Yet it has strong claims to that title; its streets are studded with sculpture – half a thousand by the time you read this – and there’s a strong boho-cultural streak that represents a complete contrast to the tough cattle-and-dust solitudes that characterize the province.
First settled in 1750, Resistencia grew rapidly with the development of the tannin industry and subsequent agricultural progress. It acquired its name after successful resistance against numerous indigenous attacks throughout the 19th century.
