The Parque de la Memoria (Remembrance Park) is a memorial to the victims of the 1976–1983 military regime, known as the Dirty War in Argentina.

"The Dirty War ... is the name used by the military junta or civic-military dictatorship of Argentina ... for the period of state-sponsored violence in Argentina from 1974 to 1983. During this campaign, military and security forces and death squads in the form of the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance (AAA, or Triple A) hunted down any political dissidents and anyone believed to be associated with socialism, communism, left-wing Peronism, or the Montoneros movement.

It is estimated that between 22,000 and 30,000 people were killed or disappeared, many of whom were impossible to formally document; however, Argentine military intelligence at the time estimated that 22,000 people had been murdered or disappeared by 1978. The primary targets were communist guerrillas and sympathisers but also included students, militants, trade unionists, writers, journalists, artists and any citizens suspected of being left-wing activists who were thought to be a political or ideological threat to the junta." It features a wall with the names of the victims inscribed on it.
