The curved sword of José de San Martín, a significant historical artifact in Argentina, has recently been relocated to a new public exhibition space in Buenos Aires under the supervision of the President of the Nation. The national government has officially facilitated this move to ensure the preservation of this vital piece of Argentine heritage within the military unit founded by San Martín himself. This relocation signifies an important measure to safeguard cultural treasures in the nation.

The sword is now displayed in the Gran Hall of Symbols at the Regiment of Granaderos a Caballo, where it is guarded by two soldiers. This location is symbolically significant as it features an image of Nuestra Señora del Carmen de Cuyo, who San Martín appointed as the patroness and general of the Army of the Andes in September 1811. This honored spot not only pays tribute to San Martín's legacy but also reinforces the historical connections between Argentina’s military history and its national identity.

Access to the sword is available to the public several days a week, providing an opportunity for citizens and visitors to connect with their national heritage. This strategic decision by the government highlights the importance of military and cultural history in Buenos Aires and fosters a sense of pride among Argentines regarding their past and the figures who shaped their nation.
