Rosario, city of connection
During the seventeenth century we find the first news of a settlement in the city. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that the city acquired its own administration, since it had previously depended on the governorship of Santa Fe. In the 19th century there was a great development in the city, since it became the exporting port most important in Argentina. The main land connection is the road that crosses the Rosario-Victoria Bridge, also known as Mercosur Bridge, by road, with around 40 miles of connection, it is the most important commercial route by land between the countries of Uruguay, Brazil and Chile.
