Abstract

The article refers to a central square in the city of Rio Cuarto, Córdoba (Argentina) and

through the historical journey reveals its past. Layers that identify from their origins to the present
the different temporalities that materialized in the premises of the current square.
From the Monte de los Gauchos, and the successive interventions on the same site: Mercado
del Progreso, Communal House with Civic Plaza, with its three buildings, takes us to different
historical moments of which little remains in the memory of citizens.
And so, a city overwhelmed by progress, does not preserve what it does not know, by canceling

its memory and identity again and again.
