1982 FALKLANDS WAR

During the Falklands War, Puerto San Julián played a strategic role as an operational base for the Argentine Air Force.

Its location near the South Atlantic theater of operations made it a critical point for refueling, maintenance, and deployment of combat aircraft, which carried out key missions against British forces.

WHAT TO SEE

PLAZOLETA
HEROES DE MALVINAS

(MALVINAS HEROES SQUARE)

The Plazoleta Héroes de Malvinas (Malvinas Heroes Square), with the Mirage Dagger as its centerpiece, commemorates the bravery of those who fought in the Falklands War.

The aircraft, protagonist of the first mission to the islands, symbolizes the defense of Argentine sovereignty.

The square pays tribute both to the fallen and to all those who participated in the conflict from this strategic point in Patagonia.

AIRPORT

During the Falklands War, the Puerto San Julián Airport served as a key airbase due to its proximity to the islands.

This monument, featuring the imposing tail of an A-4C Skyhawk, pays tribute to the Air Mobile Squadron deployed in Puerto San Julián during the Falklands War.

The commemorative plaque highlights the bravery of these pilots, who, aboard these aircraft, challenged the British fleet from this strategic base.

ARGENSUD

In 1982, the former Argensud building was closed and unused, which is why it was used as a military base for the 7th Artillery Group under the command of Colonel Pucheta.

The upper floor housed the command, intelligence, and communications offices.

There was also a department used as a rest area for high-ranking military personnel.

The basement was used as accommodation for the soldiers, and the fleet of trucks was parked in the courtyard.

Today at Argensud, you can find a wall with historical photographs from that time.
