Isla Demarchi, Industrial island in La Boca, Argentina.

The island features multiple shipyards, port warehouses, and the Costanera power plant, marking the southern end of Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires.

Initially a sandbank near Riachuelo, the land was purchased by Antonio Demarchi and his brothers in the 19th century, transforming it into an industrial zone.

The area housed the first playing fields of both River Plate and Boca Juniors football clubs before their relocation to different neighborhoods.

The island contains 25 companies and government agencies, including fiscal warehouses for foreign trade containers and various administrative offices.

The National Naval Arsenal established in 1879 continues to operate on the island, providing maintenance services for Argentine Navy vessels.
