Sarmiento House

The small wooden house with a tiled roof on the bank of Sarmiento River is protected under an impressive glass cover to protect it from humidity. Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, president of Argentina (1868-1874), lived here lived during the second half of the 19th century. The building houses the Tigre Municipal Library and a historical photographic exhibition of the development of the delta islands. In 1966, Sarmiento’s house was declared a National Historic Monument.
