Parque de la Memoria

Parque de la Memoria is a riverside memorial and open park on Buenos Aires’s northern waterfront, at Av. Costanera Rafael Obligado 6745. It commemorates victims of state terrorism during Argentina’s military dictatorship. Walk the paths to see the memorial walls, which bear the names of more than 30,000 people, and the sculptures and art dedicated to this history. The wide lawns and views over the Río de la Plata offer space for a quiet walk or picnic. Treat the memorial as a place of remembrance, not a venue for noisy activities.

A memorial on the riverfront

Parque de la Memoria is a space for reflection dedicated to victims of state terrorism during Argentina’s military dictatorship. Set on the northern riverside, it combines open lawns and river views with memorials and art. The setting offers room for a quiet walk, but the park’s central purpose is remembrance.

The memorial walls carry the names of more than 30,000 people who died during the dictatorship. Walking along them gives the site its most direct connection to those who were lost. Take time to read and reflect, and keep noise and other activities respectful around the memorial.

Sculptures, art and river views

Sculptures and other artworks are placed throughout the park. Some pieces have little explanatory information on site, so their meaning may not be immediately clear. The works are suggestive, and the park also has educational exhibits.

The Río de la Plata shoreline and broad grassy areas create a quieter setting for a longer visit. You can walk along the water or pause on the lawns. The park is wheelchair accessible at its entrance and has accessible parking.
