The Covered Gymnasium of UCV[1][2] (informally known as "La Cachucha", The Hat, because of its particular shape) is a multi-purpose gym located in the University City of Caracas.

Its spaces are public property that is administered by the Central University of Venezuela[3][4] through the UCV sports department.

The space is located within the University City of Caracas, near the Francisco Fajardo Freeway and the Plaza Venezuela.

During the first Rafael Caldera government, the gymnasium and the Botanical Garden were occupied and closed by disturbances internal to the university [es].
