Patio 29, Historical burial site in Recoleta, Santiago, Chile.
Patio 29 occupies 3600 square meters within Santiago General Cemetery, featuring 3032 precast concrete pieces and a grand staircase at its northern end.
Between 1973 and 1980, this section of Santiago General Cemetery contained unmarked graves of political prisoners who disappeared during the military regime.
The memorial includes a square with sound sculptures at natural ground level, creating spaces for musical performances and commemorative gatherings.
Visitors can access the memorial through Avenida Profesor Alberto Zañartu 951, with the site bordered by Los Aromos, Los Maitenes, México, and O'Higgins streets.
The concrete structures display a faceted mesh surface created through CNC technology, forming patterns that resemble the texture of ocean waves.
