Plaza Mayor 25 de Mayo

See if the unusual name fits as you stroll down this iconic cobblestone street and its antique buildings dating back several centuries.

A charming pink house offers visitors a realistic glimpse into the lives of the 18th-century European colonial settlers in Uruguay.

The 360-degree view from the summit of this historic 19th-century lighthouse incorporates the entire city and the Río de la Plata.

With skeletons of prehistoric beasts and antique relics from the first days of the colonial era, this museum is the oldest in the city.

After being built over 270 years ago by a Portuguese governor to protect the city from potential enemies, this gate and drawbridge are still standing.

Take a relaxing stroll through the trees and cobblestone streets of the plaza that lays claim to one of the oldest churches in Uruguay.
