Plaza Independencia is Montevideo’s most important cultural center, separating Montevideo’s downtown from the oldest part of the city, that being Ciudad Vieja. Historically speaking, the monument was built in 1937 as an omen to José Gervasio Artigas’ heroic deeds during the Independence War in the early 1800s. Today, Plaza Independencia contains some of the most important buildings of the city, including the Solís Theatre, as well as the Palacio Salvo, and the workplaces of the President of Uruguay. #travel #montevideo #history

Palacio Salvo is a very interesting piece of architecture, initially built to become a hotel, today serving as a residence to the Salvo brothers. This building was designed by Mario Palanti, a world-renowned Italian architect who designed some of the most beautiful buildings in Uruguay and Argentina. Interestingly enough, Palacio Salvo was the tallest building in Latin America for a brief period in the 1930s. Today, one of the floors serves as a museum of Tango, specifically dedicated to nurturing the history of this beautiful dance. #travel #architecture
