Parque Patricios

Parque Patricios is a barrio located on the southern side of Buenos Aires, Argentina belonging to the fourth comuna.

The government moved the main slaughterhouse to Mataderos, removed refuse piles and the notorious trash incinerators ("la quema") and the cemetery used during the 1871 yellow fever epidemic, now Parque Ameghino.

This barrio features many hospitals which treat patients from all parts of Argentina, as well as the notorious former Caseros Prison.

Parque Patricios is bordered by the barrios of Barracas and Nueva Pompeya to the south; Constitución to the east; San Cristóbal to the north; and Boedo to the west.
