Mendoza Profunda: Memory Tour and Social Struggles
♡ Save
I invite you to a different tour around Mendoza. We will discover the other side of the city: the stories of its people, the social struggles and the key moments that defined our identity. A necessary walk to understand today's Mendoza.
Did you know that behind the irrigation ditches and squares of Mendoza hides a history of resistance and secrets? In this tour we move away from the traditional circuit to discover the political and social memory of the city.
Milestones of the tour:
- Plaza San Martin: Scene of a historic assassination and refuge of the rounds of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo.
- Plaza Independencia: The heart of the popular demonstrations.
- Traces of Time: We will visit the old Government House and the Civic Neighborhood, where we will recall the "Mendozazo" on the steps of the current government headquarters.
- Espacio para la Memoria (Ex D2): We will finish in what was the most important clandestine detention center in the province, today transformed into a place of reflection.
From the darkest years to the movements that marked the 20th century, we will walk through the real scenarios where the people of Mendoza raised their voices. This is a tour for those who believe that knowing the past is the only way to walk towards the future.
