Rosario

　　   Rosario (Rosario) is the second-largest city in Argentina and an important river port. It is situated on the western bank of the lower reaches of the Paraná River in eastern Argentina, serving as a major river port in the southeastern part of Santa Fe Province and along the Paraná River. The average elevation is 22 meters. The climate is mild and humid, with an average annual temperature of 17°C and an average annual precipitation of 944 mm. It was first established in the late 17th century. The city was officially founded in 1852. Between 1852 and 1861, it was the largest trade center of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata. Although it suffered damage during Argentina's War of Independence, the city rapidly developed later due to the expansion of railways inland, regional economic growth, and the construction of its local port, becoming an important national hub for economic trade and industry.
