What to expect
Pl. Independencia 1370
The construction of the Plaza Independencia in the space occupied by the old Citadel was an idea carried out by the architect Carlo Zucchi in 1837, when it was decided to expand the old colonial city, as part of a general planning plan. We will report why they are ornamented with 33 palm trees, in homage to the Thirty-Three Orientals who participated in the Liberation Crusade. From the Plaza we can appreciate the Palacio Salvo, the Solis Theater, the Executive Tower, the Estevez Palace and the old Puerta de la Ciudadela.

The Legislative Palace is the seat of the Legislative Power of Uruguay. The General Assembly works there, which is made up of two chambers that meet separately or jointly depending on the circumstances: the House of Representatives and the House of Senators. The construction of the work was in charge of the Italian architect Gaetano Moretti, who counted on the collaboration of the Uruguayan architect Eugenio Baroffio.
