Brief synthesisESMA Museum and Site of Memory - Former Clandestine Centre of Detention, Torture and Extermination is located on the grounds of what was once the Officers’ Quarters of the Navy School of Mechanics (ESMA), in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The building has been protected as judicial evidence since 1998 owing to the crimes against humanity committed there during the operations of the Former Clandestine Centre of Detention, Torture and Extermination. The building today displays the inalterability conditions necessary to continue with studies which may allow access to new judicial evidence. The Officers’ Quarter was protected as judicial evidence for the trials. Legally speaking, the building has been protected since 1998 under an injunction to maintain the status quo in its capacity as judicial evidence.
