HISTORY:
“Ciudad Vieja” is the name of the oldest part of the city of Montevideo, capital city of
Uruguay. Nowadays, Ciudad Vieja is a neighborhood of this city. In the last couple of
years, it has gone through a major transformation, as decades ago it was in a state of
abandonment, which has made it the main nightlife centre in town. In this area, there are
many nightclubs, and also it hosts the 'Mercado de el Puerto' a traditional venue for
Uruguayan food and beverages.
Until 1829, it was surrounded by a wall that protected it from possible invasions. After
the wall was demolished, the only part of it that was kept was its gateway, which is up to
this day an emblem of this part of town. Some streets remind the presence of the wall,
like ”Ciudadela” or “Brecha”. The old street “Sarandí” was turned into a pedestrian walkway
in 1992, which increased its commercial and tourist activity. In 2005, it was extended to
beyond the Constitution Square.
“Ciudad Vieja” has the most beautiful buildings from the colonial time and the first
decades of independence. The “Cabildo”, the “Solís” Theatre, the Metropolitan Cathedral
and several museums, like “Torres García” are among the most impressive ones. Also, there
are several design shops, and recycled floors which flourish in the streets near the port.
PLACES OF WORKSHIP:
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Parish Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Church of
Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Vincent Pallotti, Charity Chapel, Maciel Hospital, Cathedral of
