Marta Pilar
One of the first permanent markets
The Craft Market is in what was once the family home of Pablo Arias Velásquez in 1533 and the first mill of Salta in 1583. This aristocratic Jesuit family transferred ownership of thick adobe walls in 1760 to undertake educational work they were doing in the northeast, northwest and south of our country.
