🎧 Listen to Introduction
The site is located in the former officers' quarters of the former Naval Mechanics School complex in Buenos Aires. It was the main clandestine detention center of the Argentine Navy during the period of the military-civilian dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. As part of the national strategy to destroy opponents of the military regime (both armed and non-violent), the officers' quarters of the Naval Mechanics School were used to detain, interrogate, torture and eventually kill opponents who were kidnapped in Buenos Aires.
