Paseo del Buen Pastor, Cultural center in Nueva Córdoba, Argentina.
Paseo del Buen Pastor is a cultural center in Nueva Córdoba that connects restored historic buildings from 1901 with contemporary spaces. The complex includes exhibition halls, gardens, dining areas, shops, and multiple venues for performances and events.
The buildings were erected in 1901 as a chapel, monastery, and women's prison, serving these functions until the year 2000. It was then transformed into a cultural center and has since become a place for art and public life.
The site's past as a convent and prison shaped how people experience the spaces today. Visitors notice how the layout and architecture reflect these former uses when they walk through different sections.
The site is open daily and easy to navigate on foot, with restaurants, cafés, and shops spread throughout the grounds. Plan enough time to explore the outdoor areas and gardens, especially on clear days.
In 1975, twenty-six political prisoners executed a remarkable escape from this location, an event that remains important in Argentine history. This daring breakout is often remembered as a symbol of resistance during that era.
