Plaza Islas Malvinas

Plaza Islas Malvinas, Memorial plaza in La Plata, Argentina.

Plaza Islas Malvinas occupies the block bounded by streets 19, 20, 50 and 54 in La Plata. On one wing of the square stands the iron gate of the former Infantry Regiment 7, kept in memory of the 46 conscripts who died in the Falklands conflict, alongside commemorative trees and plaques. The old Officers' Casino, now the Centro Cultural Islas Malvinas, holds three exhibition rooms, a microcinema, an auditorium and a bar.

The space was originally Plaza Sarmiento until a 1912 law ceded it to the national government for Infantry Regiment 7 "Coronel Conde". In 1930 Hipólito Yrigoyen resigned the presidency while held in the regiment's officers' casino, and in 1956 Colonel Cogorno was shot there. The regiment moved to La Armonía in Arana in the 1980s, and the square opened on 7 August 1998 as Islas Malvinas, renamed Plaza Malvinas Argentinas in 2012.

The former Officers' Casino now serves as Centro Cultural Islas Malvinas with exhibition halls, an auditorium, and performance spaces. The building hosts regular art exhibitions and cultural events that remain central to the city's creative activities.

The plaza offers paths for walking, benches for sitting, and green areas to relax. Information plaques throughout the site help visitors learn about the history and stories connected to the location.

An underground tunnel from the military period remains accessible on weekends and has been converted into an exhibition space for local artists. This hidden space displays rotating artworks and offers an unexpected perspective on the site's past.
