Plaza Independencia

La Plaza de la Independencia is the boundary between the business center of Montevideo and the Ciudad Vieja (Old Town). The Government Palace and the statue of General Artigas, the father of the Uruguayan nation, can both be seen here. I think it´s a great place because you can see the mixture all of the different styles of the buildings surrounding the plaza.

It’s a place where a lot of thoughts get mixed. The financial district, the history, the old and the modern architecture, and the normal life happen...

You have to go there and walk across the Sarandi street to see the Solis Theatre, the Torres García Museum and the squares.
