testimonial que poseen los Sitios de Memoria, al comprender un gran aporte a las investigaciones
judiciales. Respecto a las conclusiones, dos puntos se destacan principalmente en esta investigación.
Por un lado, la necesidad de llevar a cabo el marcaje y reconocimiento de los sitios de memoria para
contribuir a destacar el valor propio de la democracia y del ejercicio de los derechos de los
ciudadanos, de manera segura y libre. Por otro lado, la necesidad de apoyar, promover y defender
los Derechos Humanos, en miras de un futuro mejor para nuestra sociedad.

ABSTRACT
This paper addresses the notion of "Memory Site" linked to the concepts of space and memory
respectively. The structure of the work is constituted in four sections. In the first, the relationship
between space and memory is described, incorporating the contributions of Lefebvre (2013) with its
distinction between perceived, conceived and lived space, framed in the production process of urban
space. In the second section, the main points of the legislation of memory spaces in Argentina are
noted, that is, about the National Law 26.691. The third section describes the process of recovery of
former clandestine detention centres (ex-CCD), that is, the marking and recovery of places where
acts of repression, torture and extermination were carried out. Finally, the fourth section focuses on
the recovery work as a Memory Site, of the former clandestine detention center "La escuelita" in
Bahía Blanca. Regarding the methodology used in this work, we must point out that it is qualitative
and conceptual descriptive. For its part, the data collection technique consisted in the documentary
analysis of the selected bibliography, that is, in the reading and classification of existing documents
and available around the topic addressed. Among the main results we should mention that the
relationship between space and memory is of great relevance for human groups by allowing to frame
their collective memories space-temporarily, constituting in turn, their identity as a social group. It
also highlights the need to demarcate those places that functioned as clandestine detention centres
and in which various human rights violations were carried out, from the material to the temporary
point of view, to know where the actions put under analysis begin and end. Another of the results
highlighted is the need to give new functions to Memory Spaces, to promote and defend Human
Rights, as well as, the testimonial value that Memory Sites possess, by understanding a great
contribution to judicial investigations. As regards the findings, two points stand out mainly in this
investigation. On the one hand, the need to carry out the marking and recognition of memory sites
to help highlight the value of democracy and the exercise of citizens' rights, in a safe and free
manner. On the other hand, the need to support, promote and defend human rights, in view of a
better future for our society.
