Sumario:The process of establishing Spanish cities in America was complex, slow, and sometimes involved forced relocations that left behind valuable remains at abandoned locations. Here we present here a revaluation project carried out by the Heritage Department of the Ente Cultural de Tucumán (ECT) on the historic site where the city of San Miguel de Tucumán was founded in 1565 and remained until 1685, when it was moved. Since 2010, the ECT, the Municipality of León Rougés, and the Ente Autárquico Tucumán Turismo (EATT), have participated in the public management of the historical–archaeological site as consultants with the shared goal of revaluing the site and its public use. This project was made possible thanks to national funding for the construction of an information module or information–interpretation center to revalue the site and improve the tourism and educational potential. In 2016, and after fruitful years of management and public use, flooding seriously damaged the center and it had to close. In 2019, the center was reopened. Today, with a renewed management policy that includes archaeological research and improved services for public use, the site receives a large number of visitors and is a resource for tourism, culture, and education. There are improved prospects for promoting tourism and culture, given the government's long-term commitment to sustain the center.
