The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Córdoba (erected 10 May 1570, as the Diocese of Tucumán[1]) is in Argentina and is a metropolitan diocese and its suffragan sees include Cruz del Eje, San Francisco, Villa de la Concepción del Río Cuarto and Villa María as well as the Territorial Prelature of Deán Funes. The first see of this diocese, until 1697-1699, was in Santiago del Estero: its name was changed in diocese of Córdoba only in 1806 after Salta became an independent see with the original territory of Tucumán. It was elevated on 20 April 1934.[2][3]
