"Azul es una ciudad del centro-este de la provincia de Buenos Aires en la República Argentina, cabecera del partido de Azul. Está ubicada a 299 kilómetros al sudoeste de Buenos Aires. Limita con los partidos de Tandil, Rauch, Olavarría, Tapalqué, Benito Juárez, y Las Flores. Es el centro geográfico de la provincia. Su red vial sirve de conexión con diferentes puntos del país. El clima es templado y húmedo. Se cultivan cereales y se crían bovinos.[1]

Fue fundada como un fuerte por el coronel Burgos cumpliendo una orden de Rosas para frenar el avance de los malones. Fue declarada ciudad en 1895. En la actualidad tiene veintinueve barrios. En 1974 un grupo guerrillero intenta tomar por asalto el cuartel del ejército local y en 1986 un experimento de la Organización Mundial de la Salud con vacas terminó en un escándalo.

Entre los lugares de interés se destacan el Teatro Español y la importante colección de obras de Cervantes que alberga la Casa Ronco, lo que le valió el título de Ciudad Cervantina.
De acuerdo con los últimos censos nacionales, la población pasó de 62.271 habitantes (INDEC, 1991) a 62.996 habitantes (INDEC, 2001). Según estimaciones del INDEC, al 30 de junio de 2009 la población del partido alcanzó los 65.562 habitantes; mientras que para el 30 de junio de 2010 alcanzaría los 65.728 habitantes."

"Azul is the head city of the Azul Partido, located at the center of the Buenos Aires Province in Argentina, 300 km south of Buenos Aires. It has 63,000 inhabitants as per the 2001 census [INDEC] .

Its principal, goods-producing economic activities are agriculture and the raising of cattle for meat exports. Home to a dynamic services sector, over 2,000 commercial businesses are registered in the city.[1]

The town was founded on December 16, 1832, following Governor Juan Manuel de Rosas' orders for the construction of a fort, San Serapio Mártir del Arroyo Azul, to guard against indigenous raids. Subsequent land grants led to the developemt of a stable community, and in 1895, Azul was formally declared a town by provincial authorities. The local cathedral, Nuestra Señora del Rosario, was consecrated in 1906.

The town's cemetery portal and main slaughterhouse were both designed by architect Francisco Salamone, and contain elements of Art Deco style. Built in the late 1930s, these buildings were some of the first examples of modern architecture in rural Argentina. The town was the scene of an attack on outlying Army barracks by the far-left ERP on January 19, 1974, the most violent siege of its type in the country up to that point.

Azul is home to the schools of Agronomy and Law of the National University of Central Buenos Aires. The Teatro Español, founded in the city in 1897, is among the most important of the central pampas area, and in 1992, hosted the Bolshoi Ballet.[2] The Miguel de Cervantes Festival is held there annually since 2007, and Casa Ronco, an antiquarian library and museum, maintains among the country's best collections relating to the noted Spanish writer. Azul was declared Argentina's "City of Cervantes" by UNESCO in 2007" Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azul,_Buenos_Aires_Province

A strange building that seems to have elements of Art Deco in its design, slightly at odds with the surrounding Victorian architecture.
