Rosario is Argentina's third-largest city and a spirited metropolitan center located on the banks of the Paraná River. Known as the 'Cradle of the Flag,' it is here that Manuel Belgrano first raised the Argentine flag in 1812, a fact commemorated by the monumental National Flag Memorial. Rosario is a major industrial and agricultural powerhouse, serving as the primary port for the country's grain exports. The city is also famous for its rich cultural life, world-class architecture, and for being the birthplace of iconic figures like Che Guevara and Lionel Messi.
