caption_attribution_description: Branch of the Banco de la Nación Argentina in Colón, Entre Ríos, Argentina.
context_page_description: Colón is a city in the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina. It is located in the east of the province, on the western shore of the Uruguay River, and has about 23,000 inhabitants. It lies opposite Paysandú, Uruguay, to which it is linked across the river by the General Artigas Bridge.
  The city was founded in 1863 by General Justo José de Urquiza, former caudillo of Entre Ríos and then the first constitutional President of Argentina.
  Colón is the center of an important tourist region. Though it is a relatively small city, it features high-quality hotels, a casino, and camping sites. It also has hot springs and associated facilities. The neighboring towns allow for small-scale historical sightseeing, since they were mostly created as agricultural colonies by European immigrants.
  In the Colón area lies the El Palmar National Park, a large reserve of Yatay palm trees, informally known as Palmar de Colón. The Palacio San José, former country residence of General Urquiza and now a national monument, is also near Colón, closer to the city of Concepción del Uruguay.
