    Unfortunately, we were unable to see the interior as we only had a 10-minute stop on our guided tour of the city. Nonetheless this is a truly impressive building.  more »

    Defintely a place to put on your agenda when in Montevideo. Less than an hour is sufficient to visit. The interior of the building is worth seeing.  more »
