El Club Atlético, National Historic Site in San Telmo, Argentina
El Club Atlético occupies a former detention center building at the intersection of Paseo Colón and San Juan avenues in Buenos Aires.
From 1976 to 1983, this clandestine facility operated as a detention and torture center during Argentina's military dictatorship period.
The site now functions as a memorial space where visitors can learn about the human rights violations that occurred during the military regime.
Educational tours of the site are available by appointment through the Memory Institute, with access from Monday through Friday during daytime hours.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed three underground levels where political prisoners were held, including cells and interrogation rooms.
