The amphitheater is located at the geographic center of Buenos Aires city.
It was renovated and reopened in 2009 after a long period of abandonment.
The structure is built directly into the terrain of Parque Centenario to improve natural sound projection.
It is frequently used for the Buenos Aires Festival of Independent Cinema (BAFICI) screenings.
The venue's name honors Eva Perón, reflecting the political era of its original construction.
The Anfiteatro Eva Perón is a historic outdoor venue located within Parque Centenario in the Caballito neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Originally inaugurated in 1953, the amphitheater was designed to host large-scale cultural events, theatrical performances, and musical concerts. The structure features a distinctive semicircular stone design that prioritizes acoustics and open-air seating. It serves as a central hub for the city’s independent arts scene and local neighborhood programming. The venue is fully integrated into the landscaping of the surrounding park, which includes a central lake and walking paths. Its current management prioritizes community-led festivals and free public performances. The facility functions as a protected cultural space that retains its mid-20th-century architectural character.
