El gorro frigio en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba

Abstract

The National University of Cordoba, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Argentina, has adopted the Phrygian cap as a symbol of freedom, equality and social justice in its architecture and as part of its institutional identity. The Phrygian cap can be seen on several emblematic buildings of the university and can also be found on other symbols related to the university. The use of the Phrygian cap at the National University of Córdoba has its roots in the history of the French Revolution and has become an important symbol of the struggle for equality and social justice in Argentine society. Although there is no specific information about its use in the Faculty of Medical Sciences, it is present in some of the buildings of the Faculty of Medicine due to its importance in the identity of the university, for example on the façade of the Practical School of Medicine, Faculty of Medical Sciences, National University of Cordoba.
