Hospital Naval

The Naval Hospital

Hospital Naval is a building in the Caballito section of Buenos Aires designed by architect Clorindo Testa in 1977.[1] Serving Argentine Navy personnel and facing Parque Centenario, the institution was established in 1947, and its current, modernist building was inaugurated in 1981.[2] The 30,000 m² (320,000 ft²) hospital is one of the best-known examples of brutalist architecture in Argentina.[1]
