Location Description
Centro, originally called Ciudad Nueva (“New City”) in contrast to Ciudad Vieja (“Old City”), is one of the 62 officially recognized neighborhoods of Montevideo, Uruguay. It occupies the area that historically served as the field of fire of the walled city—that is, a strip of land in front of the walls reserved exclusively for defensive purposes. Together with Ciudad Vieja and Cordón, Centro forms the city’s financial district, owing to its high concentration of services, government offices, financial institutions, and commercial and entertainment venues. Its main artery is 18 de Julio Avenue, along the stretch from Independence Square to Ejido Street, characterized by buildings in the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles.
