A
Convento de San Bernardo
Only Carmelite nuns may enter 16th-century Convento de San Bernardo, but visitors can approach the blindingly whitewashed adobe building (consider sunglasses) to admire the carved, 18th-century algarrobo door. The church, too, is open for visits before Mass early weekday mornings, Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings.

Iglesia Catedral
Salta's 19th-century cathedral harbors the ashes of General Martín Miguel de Güemes, a Salteño and independence hero, as well as those of other important historical figures; even today, the gauchos of the Salta province proudly flaunt their red-striped ponchos de güemes.
