Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tucumán

1

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tucumán is in Argentina and is a metropolitan diocese. Its suffragan sees include Añatuya, Concepción and Santiago del Estero.

History

A Diocese of Tucumán was erected in 1570 but the see was in Santiago del Estero, until 1697, and later in Córdoba: it is now the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Córdoba. On 15 February 1897 Pope Leo XIII founded the new Diocese of Tucumán from territory taken from the Diocese of Salta. Pope Pius XII elevated it to an archdiocese on 11 February 1957. It lost territory to the Diocese of Concepción when it was created in 1963.
