Lomas de Zamora is a prominent residential and commercial city located in the southern part of Greater Buenos Aires. The city's name derives from Juan de Zamora, who owned the lands in the mid-18th century. Formally established as a district in 1861, the area experienced rapid growth following the arrival of the railway and the partition of large estates. A focal point of its historic center is the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace, inaugurated in 1860, which showcases impressive ecclesiastical architecture. Today, Lomas de Zamora serves as a vital educational and administrative hub, home to the National University of Lomas de Zamora (UNLZ), established in 1972. The city features an animated commercial district and significant recreational spaces, including the Municipal Park of Lomas. Its strategic location along the Roca railway line makes it a critical transit point connecting the southern suburbs with the heart of the Argentine capital.
