City Hall

Local namePalacio Municipal
LocationMontevideo, Uruguay

Palacio Municipal is the seat of the local government agency of the Municipality of Montevideo, Uruguay. Located on the main avenue of the city, 18 de Julio Avenue, in barrio Centro, it was designed by Uruguayan architect Mauricio Cravotto.

Construction began in 1935 and inaugurated on July 16, 1941, although the actual building differs from the original 1929 Cravotto model; his main tower measured 114m, which would have become the tallest building in the city, but for financial reasons rose to only 78m, remaining in second place after the Palacio Salvo. It also lacked the brick siding. The side wings, the underground concourse and garage were built later, giving the building its current appearance. While not the tallest building in Montevideo, its location on the Avenida 18 de Julio, built on the crest of a ridge or long hill, make the building look more impressive. The area of the building had begun development from at least 1867.
