Memory Park, Memorial park on Rio de la Plata in Belgrano, Argentina
The fourteen-acre park contains eighteen sculptures and a monument wall displaying names of individuals who disappeared during Argentina's military regime.
The park, established in 1998 through Law No. 46, commemorates victims of state terrorism during Argentina's military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983.
The monument features empty plaques and a grass hill with an intentional cut design to represent the lasting effects of governmental violence.
Visitors can explore the memorial grounds daily, with extended hours until 7 PM on weekends and holidays, accessing both outdoor monuments and indoor galleries.
The memorial stands 300 meters from the former military airport where numerous victims were taken for death flights over Rio de la Plata.

Buenos Aires reveals a patrimonial wealth that goes beyond the usual circuits. This collection gathers places that tell the story of the Argentine capital through its architecture, green spaces, and cultural institutions. From the XVIIIth-century tunnel network of El Zanjón de Granados to the 22 stories of Palacio Barolo, these sites reflect the city's urban evolution. The itinerary includes diverse sites such as Palermo's Japanese Garden with its ponds and pavilions, the Museo de Arte Español Enrique Larreta showcasing works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, and the moving Floralis Genérica sculpture whose petals open at sunrise. Neighborhoods like San Telmo, Barracas, and Colegiales offer architectural discoveries such as 19th-century passages, facades decorated with mosaics on Calle Lanín, and the Mercado de las Pulgas filled with Argentine antiques. These locations allow exploring Buenos Aires beyond postcards and observe how the city has preserved its history while growing. Each site provides a different perspective on porteña culture, from Carlos Gardel’s tango to European and Asian influences shaping the city’s identity.
