Salta (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsalta]) is a municipality and the capital of the province of the same name in the Northwest region of Argentina. According to the 2010 census, it is the seventh-most populous city in the country with 520,683 inhabitants.[3] In the 2022 census, which has not published population numbers by city, the Capital Department (composed of Salta and San Lorenzo) had a population of 627,107 inhabitants.[1] The city is located in the Lerma Valley, a wide depression surrounded by hills,[4] together with other smaller neighboring municipalities that form the Lerma Valley Metropolitan Area (Área Metropolitana del Valle de Lerma; AMVL), which also includes San Lorenzo, Cerrillos, La Merced, La Caldera, Vaqueros, Campo Quijano and Rosario de Lerma; of which Salta is the epicenter and concentrates over 86% of the population.[5] The conurbation of Greater Salta (Gran Salta)
Before Spanish colonization, the area where the city was founded was inhabited by the indigenous Diaguita people, who fiercely resisted the conquest in a series of confrontations known as the Calchaquí Wars, during the 1560–1667 period.[6] The Spaniards managed to impose themselves and on 16 April 1582 the city of Salta was founded by Hernando de Lerma, a direct envoy of viceroy Francisco de Toledo.[6] During the colonial era, Salta was a key city for the economic development of the southern Andes region, especially for its links with Potosí's mines in Upper Peru as well as Lima.[7][8] Due to this strategic location, Salta played a central role during the Argentine War of Independence, with Martín Miguel de Güemes as its most notable military leader, today recognized as a hero of Salta and of the whole country.[7]
