Cagancha Square is a historic and iconic public space located in the heart of Montevideo, Uruguay. The square is named after the Cagancha Obelisk, a towering monument that stands at its center. The obelisk was erected in 1837 to commemorate the victory of the Uruguayan forces over the Argentine army in the Battle of Cagancha.
Surrounded by grand buildings and bustling streets, Cagancha Square is a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists alike. The square is home to a number of benches and shaded areas, making it a great place to relax and people-watch. It is also a hub for public transportation, with several bus stops and taxi stands located nearby.
In addition to the obelisk, Cagancha Square is home to several other notable landmarks. The Palacio Salvo, a striking Art Deco building that was once the tallest in South America, looms over the square from one side. On another side is the Teatro Solis, a historic theater that has hosted countless performances since its opening in 1856.
Throughout the year, Cagancha Square plays host to a variety of events and activities. During the summer months, it is a popular spot for outdoor concerts and festivals. In the winter, the square is transformed into a Christmas market, complete with festive lights and decorations.
Overall, Cagancha Square is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Montevideo. Its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant atmosphere make it a true gem of the city.
