Provincial Memory Archive (ex-D2)
Archivo Provincial de la Memoria
A former clandestine detention center beside the cathedral, now a memory archive preserving original cells and recording the 'Dirty War' through photos of the disappeared.
Located on Santa Catalina Lane, next to the Cathedral, this building was once the base of D2, the police intelligence unit. During the military dictatorship of the 1970s, it was used as a secret detention and torture center. It is now the Archivo Provincial de la Memoria, preserving the original cells and interrogation rooms. Corridors are lined with photos of the disappeared, telling the story of Argentina's 'Dirty War.' The atmosphere is heavy. Admission is free. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from about 10:00 to 17:00 (check the official website for details), with Spanish-language guided tours.
