這是阿根廷最重要的博物館之一，因其豐富的文化遺產，概括了幾個世紀的阿根廷和南美歷史。它位於九七月廣場的一側，曾經是市政會議的地方，如今冷眼旁觀著薩爾塔（Salta）繁忙的居民穿過博物館的展廳。因此，當我們踏入門檻時，庭院的寂靜不可避免地將我們帶入另一種氛圍。

這座建築本身是殖民時期的真正建築珍品，具有總督轄區典型的簡樸線條。它的兩層樓保留著可以追溯到1717年的部分，但主要是在1789年至1807年之間進行的大修。

在二十世紀初，它曾在一次公開拍賣中被出售，其位於西北角的主要房間被毀去興建私人住宅。但在1936年，國會參議員卡洛斯·塞雷伊（Carlos Serrey，Esq.）的狡猾干預使其得以恢復，並被宣告為國家歷史遺址。

古老的事物

我們開始參觀那些從前印加時代到獨立時期的房間。在前者中，原住民文化的遺跡被象徵在日常用品中，這些物品還展示了該地區的第一批定居者的生活和思維方式。

博物館中最珍貴的之一是《懇求者》（El suplicante），該雕像於2003年被盜。如今，只剩下一張描繪這尊石雕的圖片，該雕像來自早期前西班牙統治時期。

It is one of the most important museums in the country due to the richness of its heritage, which summarizes centuries of Argentinian and South American history. Located to one side of the 9 de Julio square, where the cabildo (municipal council) used to operate, today observes impassively the busy inhabitants of Salta going through its galleries. For such reason, when we crossed the threshold, the silence of its patios inevitably transported us to another atmosphere.

The building itself is a real architectural jewel from the colonial period, with simple lines typical of the viceroyalty. Its two stories maintain parts that date back to the year 1717, but it mostly corresponds to the great repairs done between 1789 and 1807.

In the early XX century, it had been sold in a public auction and its main room located in the northwestern angle was lost in order to build a private house. But in 1936, the cunning intervention of National Senator Dr. Carlos Serrey, Esq. allowed it to be recovered and declared National Historical

Things from Old Times

We began to go through the rooms that rescue the pre-Inca times through the days of Independence. In the former, the vestiges of native cultures are symbolized in objects of daily use which also show the ways of living and thinking of the first settlers of the area.

One of the most precious pieces of the museum is El suplicante (the beggar), which was stolen in 2003. Today, there is only a picture left with the references of this idol made of stone from the early pre-Hispanic period.
