Montevideo is one of the most beautiful cities in South America, with beautiful scenery, clean streets and green trees. Due to its location in the temperate zone, pleasant climate, fresh air, trees everywhere, and evergreen flowers and plants, the city is known as the "City of Roses". This is a beautiful city. The city is divided into two parts: the new city and the old city. The old city retains the architectural style of the Spanish colonial period, centered on Constitution Square, which has a Catholic church built in the 18th century. There are many modern high-rise buildings in the New City, and in Independence Square stands a bronze statue of the national hero General Artigas on horseback and his mausoleum. Near the square are the modern Salvo Building and the gorgeous Solis Theater, as well as the Natural History Museum founded in 1873.

There are large bathing beaches along the coast of Montevideo. Every year, December 8 is Uruguay’s Beach Day. At that time, the archbishop will hold a prayer ceremony for the sea.
