Independence Square, Montevideo


Independence Square was originally designed by the arhitect Carlos Zucchi in 1837 when the city decided to expand.  At its center stands the great statue of Jose Gervasio Artigos and can be accessed via stairs to the underground mausoleum where his remains are.

Thanks Daniela for the bit of history.
