Uruguay UNESCO world heritage sites

Calenoles department [capital = Calenoles]

Cristo Obrero Church in Estacion Atlantida on Av. Monsenor Jose Orzali
The Church provides an eminent example of the remarkable formal and spatial achievements of modern architecture in Latin America during the second part of the 20th century, embodying the search for social equality with a spare use of resources, meeting structural imperatives to great aesthetic effect.

Colonia department [capital = Colonia del Sacramento]

Historic Quarter of Colonia del Sacramento
All of its modest buildings, in regard both to their dimensions and their appearance, are a particularly interesting testimony to the singular fusion of the Portuguese and Spanish traditions that is evident in the construction methods used. The civil and religious buildings with long stone walls, wooden trellis and tiled roofs reveal an excellent knowledge of traditional construction systems and contribute to the architectural unity specific to the Historic Quarter.

Rio Negro department [capital = Fray Bentos]

Industrial Landscape in Fray Bentos on Ruta Panoramica
The site illustrates the whole process of meat sourcing, processing, packing and dispatching.
