Source-derived summary

San Lorenzo is a commune in the San Alberto department, in the province of Córdoba (Argentina) in the Traslasierra Valley. It is situated between the mountain ranges of Sierras Grandes, Sierras de Pocho, Guasapampa, and Serrezuela, 2 km north of Villa Cura Brochero, a well-known tourist location in the area. The Panaholma River and the Toro Muerto Creek flow through this commune.

Demographics

According to the 2010 census, there are 1029 people residing in this area, which follows Argentinian law no. 8102 grants it the status of "commune". However, it must be noticed that in the recent elections, the number of people eligible to vote (those over 16) was 1050. When the next census results are available, it is possible that San Lorenzo will become a municipality.

First inhabitants

The Spanish conquerors entered the territory of Córdoba through three rounds of expeditions starting in the first half of the 16th century. As a result of these expeditions, San Lorenzo possesses precious records of the customs of the native indigenous people, such as chronicles and data provided by archaeologists, among others. According to these data, it is possible to know that groups of Sanavirones and Comechingones, native indigenous people, settled in the region.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as human settlement in Córdoba Province, Argentina. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6119205. Authority coordinates are -31.670, -65.018. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 1029 and 1050.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
