D-2 de Córdoba, Memory site and former detention center in central Córdoba, Argentina.
D-2 de Córdoba is a former detention and interrogation facility in central Córdoba, positioned between the Cabildo and Cathedral. The building contains underground cells and multiple interrogation rooms that document its function as a center of state control.
From 1976 to 1983, the facility operated as a secret detention center under Area 311 control during Argentina's military dictatorship. It was one of several centers where political opponents were held and interrogated.
The building's name references its role within the repression system, serving as a daily reminder of state persecution. Visitors encounter the interrogation spaces and learn through exhibits how this institution operated within the city's everyday life.
The memorial site offers guided tours that explain the building's role during the period of repression and allows visitors to explore its spaces. Take time to view the Provincial Memory Archive's documents and exhibits to gain a fuller understanding of what happened there.
Excavations in 2009 uncovered a concealed basement that functioned as a prison cell, remaining hidden for over two decades after the facility closed. This discovery revealed the extent of the repression infrastructure and the measures taken to conceal evidence.
