Overview
-
Walk through the Historic District of Colonia del Sacramento
It is the first site in Uruguay declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995. Founded in 1680 by the Portuguese Manuel Lobo, the city passed from Portuguese to Spanish dominion several times, until the Declaration of Independence in 1825. These events made the capital coloniense a melting pot of architectural styles in which typically Portuguese colonial-style buildings and Spanish homes coexist.
Walking through its cobbled and irregular streets allows you to remember history, and enjoy a unique landscape with privileged views of the Río de la Plata. Its houses, its cobblestone streets, its typical lanterns, and its magical sunsets have always seduced visitors. The Portón de Campo, the Calle de los Suspiros, the Lighthouse, the Art Galleries and the history treasured by its Museums are just some of the attractions to discover.
