Symbol of Polital Life
The symbol of the political life of Uruguay. The chamber of senators and deputies are here. The building, erected in 1925 is really beauty, with marble walls, murals painted on the ceiling and gold reliefs. A classic style, not very ornate, but, really beautiful. You can visit for free every day at certain times. A guide, also free, will explain the history of the building, its functions, its legends ... It has a spectacular library with volumes of ancient and priceless works. Everything is taken care to the very last detail and very well preserved. However because it's empty, it's missing the powerful feeling you see on TV with the politicians arguing.
The building is connected to another on the street in front of a tunnel that was built recently so the deputies and senators don't have to go outside to go to the offices. It generated so many complaints from citizens for spending so much money on something they considered unnecessary. In my opinion, you have to visit this building. It's free, you can learn a little more about the history of how the Uruguayans govern, and it's beautiful.
