Casa de Los Conejos / Casa Mariani Teruggi, La Plata

Casa de Los Conejos is unique in that though spatially relevant, it was not a former clandestine detention center. Instead, it was a headquarters for members of the militant, left-wing Montoneros Group. On November 24, 1976, it was raided and its 6 adult residents killed in a violent shootout, the results of which can still be seen on the walls of the house today. 3 month old Clara Anahí survived, was taken alive, and remains missing to this day.​

​

Today, the house is also referred to as Casa Mariani Teruggi and is preserved in its original state as a museum with limited access on Saturdays. Though I visited during its limited opening hours in June 2025, it was unfortunately closed, perhaps a sign of the vulnerable state of memorial sites that rely on volunteer labour and especially of those that preserve the political agency of the dictatorship's victims.
