Faro

With skeletons of prehistoric beasts and antique relics from the first days of the colonial era, this museum is the oldest in the city.

The 360-degree view from the summit of this historic 19th-century lighthouse incorporates the entire city and the Río de la Plata.

A charming pink house offers visitors a realistic glimpse into the lives of the 18th-century European colonial settlers in Uruguay.

Beneath the lighthouse, walk around the maze of pathways and walls of these ancient ruins, which have survived after several centuries.

See if the unusual name fits as you stroll down this iconic cobblestone street and its antique buildings dating back several centuries.

After being built over 270 years ago by a Portuguese governor to protect the city from potential enemies, this gate and drawbridge are still standing.
