Resistencia, capital of Chaco province, was founded by immigrants from Italy's Friuli region in 1878 and is known as the «City of Sculptures»: its streets, squares and parks hold more than six hundred sculptures, spreading since the 1960s, until in 2006 Argentina's Congress declared it the «National Capital of Sculpture». Every two years since 1988 it hosts the International Sculpture Biennial, where sculptors from around the world work in the open air before the public on blocks of marble, wood and metal, and their works then stay in the city. In Parque 2 de Febrero stands the MusEUM, an open-air museum of urban sculpture, and the city also has El Fogón de los Arrieros, a cultural house famed for its art collection. Wandering among the sculptures is free, and it pairs easily with Corrientes across the river via the General Belgrano Bridge.
