Monte Peloni, Memory site and former detention center in Olavarría Partido, Argentina
Located along Route 226 connecting Olavarría with Mar del Plata, Monte Peloni stands as a concrete reminder of Argentina's military dictatorship period.
From 1976 to 1978, the Argentine Army used this facility to detain and torture numerous young individuals from the surrounding regions during the Dirty War.
Former detainee Araceli Gutierrez now serves as the site's caretaker, contributing to the preservation of historical memory through firsthand accounts and documentation.
The site hosts educational programs and memorial activities, allowing visitors to learn about human rights violations that occurred during Argentina's military regime.
In 2014, Monte Peloni became the focus of legal proceedings, with trials addressing the actions of 70 defendants, including former police officers and military personnel.
