Paseo del Buen Pastor

Paseo del Buen Pastor, Cultural center in Nueva Córdoba, Argentina.

Paseo del Buen Pastor is a cultural, recreational and commercial complex on Avenida Hipólito Yrigoyen in Nueva Córdoba, Córdoba. Its long pale facade is a row of seven arches on slim columns, with glazed doors and windows behind the arcade and low water basins with small jets in front. The former women's prison chapel, with a Greek-cross plan and murals by Emilio Caraffa, Manuel Cardeñosa and Emiliano Gómez Clara, stands at the center.

The Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd of Angers ran a home for poor and orphaned girls from 1888; in 1892 the provincial government put them in charge of female inmates, and land was donated in 1896. Architect José Montblanch designed the women's prison and its chapel, built between 1897 and 1906. The jail closed shortly after 1970, its last three inmates held for political reasons around 1977. The chapel was deconsecrated around 2000, and the complex reopened as a cultural center on August 4, 2007.

The name comes from the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd of Angers, the French congregation that ran the women's correctional house here. The former prison chapel, kept at the center of the complex, has a Greek-cross plan said to be the only one of its kind in Córdoba, with murals and paintings by Emilio Caraffa, Manuel Cardeñosa and Emiliano Gómez Clara. Concerts, book launches, painting, sculpture and photography shows, theater and puppet performances fill the program.

The main entrance is at Av. Hipólito Yrigoyen 325, facing the Church of the Capuchins; the arcade of seven arches and the fountain basins lie along the paved plaza. The chapel, with its Greek-cross plan and murals, stands in the center of the complex. Guided tours and puppet shows are among the programmed activities.

The chapel at the center of the complex is the only one in Córdoba built on a Greek cross plan. When the former prison was demolished from 2005, the chapel was kept and restored, along with its mural paintings and canvases by Emilio Caraffa, Manuel Cardeñosa and Emiliano Gómez Clara.
