The National Center of High Performance Athletics (known as Ce.N.A.R.D. for its initials in Spanish: Centro Nacional de Alto Rendimiento Deportivo) is the sports complex where most Argentine sportspeople (especially athletes) who compete internationally are trained. The CeNARD is located at 1050 Crisólogo Larralde Avenue, in the Núñez district of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The area where it is located, facing the Río de la Plata, was the site of the Carl Diem Gymnasium from 1954 until 1960, and the CeNARD was built between 1973 and 1980. The establishment occupies an approximated land area of 11.5 hectares (28 acres).The Center also houses the Argentine Sports Secretariat and a gymnasium with a seating capacity for 2,000 spectators. The smaller Humberto Selvetti Gymnasium hosts amateur boxing competitions, and the center also houses numerous tennis courts, track and field, javelin and field hockey venues, indoor arenas, an olympic-sized swimming pool and a fully equipped medical center. It was the main sports site of the 2006 South American Games and one venue of the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.

Navy Petty-Officers School
Navy Petty-Officers School

The Higher School of Mechanics of the Navy (Spanish: Escuela Superior de Mecánica de la Armada, commonly referred to by its acronym ESMA) has gone through three major transformations throughout its history. Originally ESMA served as an educational facility of the Argentine Navy. The original ESMA was a complex located at 8151 Libertador Avenue, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, in the barrio of Núñez. Additionally, It was the seat of U.T.3.3.2—Unidad de Tareas (Task Unit) 2 of G.T.3.3 [es].However, ESMA from 1976 to 1983 operated as a clandestine detention center for the "subversives" shortly after the coup of the military dictatorship. ESMA was used during the Dirty War as an illegal, secret detention center. The military took the babies born to mothers imprisoned there, suppressed their true identities, and allowed them to be illegally adopted by military families and associates of the regime. Additionally, Unidad de Tareas (Task Unit) was responsible for thousands of instances of forced disappearance, torture, and illegal execution during this time. ESMA was the largest detention center of its kind during the Dirty War. Ultimately, as of today, the original ESMA building has been converted into a memorial museum to show and honor those that were disappeared during Argentina's Dirty War. The National Congress passed a law on 5 August 2004 that converted the ESMA complex into a museum, the Space for Memory and for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (Espacio para la Memoria y para la Promoción y Defensa de los Derechos Humanos). Since 2014 plans are also made for the campus to house a second museum, this time, to honor the military personnel killed and wounded during the Falklands War, since several of its alumni and 230 students fought in the conflict. The School, once again legitimate, was renamed Escuela de Suboficiales de la Armada (ESSA; English: Navy Petty-Officers' School) in 2001, and moved in 2005 to the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base, 28 km from the city of Bahía Blanca, and about 600 km southwest of Buenos Aires.
