Mariano I. Loza – Tradition between Molle and Aguay
Accommodation in Mariano I. Loza
Mariano I. Loza combines a strong religious tradition with a local history shaped by former postal services and the railway station. At the same time, the town lies between the Molle and Aguay streams. These different points of interest can help you tailor your trip to your own interests: would you like to focus on the town’s religious character, its history, or its place in the local waterway network?
Between Molle, Aguay and larger rivers
Mariano I. Loza lies between the Molle and Aguay streams. Both are tributaries of the Corriente and Miriñay rivers. These waterways place the town in a broader geographical context: Molle and Aguay are the immediate landmarks, while Corriente and Miriñay are the rivers into which they flow.
Patron saint and devotion to San La Muerte
The parish church and the town of Mariano I. Loza are under the patronage of Saint Anthony of Padua. The feast day is celebrated on 13 June. This date gives the local tradition a clear place in the calendar and is a concrete aspect to consider when planning your trip.
Another religious point of interest is the shrine of San La Muerte. It is located in Mariano I. Loza, also known as Estación Solari, at kilometre 84 of Ruta 119. The chapel of San La Muerte in Estación Solari is also frequently visited by devotees of Gauchito Gil.
Post station, railway station and the town’s development
Mariano I. Loza was formerly a post station for the province and served mail coaches and postal services. The settlement is also linked to the railway station: it began with the subdivision and sale of plots beside the station. The railway station in Mariano I. Loza is named Solari in honour of Justino Solari. Together, these facts describe different stages in the town’s history—from its former postal services to the settlement’s development beside the railway station. The date of 13 June provides a fixed point in the calendar; the post station and railway station, by contrast, offer a glimpse into Mariano I. Loza’s history of transport and settlement.
A law approved a railway connection from Monte Caseros to the city of Corrientes.
