Julio Cesar Villagra Stadium, football stadium in Alberdi, Córdoba, Argentina

The Julio César Villagra Stadium, known as El Gigante de Alberdi, is the football ground of Club Atlético Belgrano on Arturo Orgaz street in the Alberdi neighbourhood of Córdoba. Its rectangular pitch, ringed by running tracks, is enclosed by tiered stands of light blue seating, with white and black seats forming patterns in one stand and "CLUB ATLETICO TALLERES" lettered on the blue wall behind a goal. Capacity is 38,500.

The arena opened on March 17, 1929, replacing a smaller sports field in Parque Sarmiento as the growing fan base demanded a larger venue. Following its opening, the stadium received electric floodlights in 1945, enabling night matches and modernizing its operations.

The name honours Julio César Villagra, a Belgrano player from 1982 until his death in 1993, while the nickname 'El Gigante de Alberdi' comes from the ground's size when it opened. The blue wall behind one goal carries the lettering 'CLUB ATLETICO TALLERES' in the photograph, and the stands mix light blue seats with white and black patterns.

The stadium sits on Arturo Orgaz street and is easily reached on foot from downtown Córdoba, roughly two kilometers away. On match days, fans often arrive early to enjoy food and socialize with other supporters before the game, making the visit a social experience.
