Montevideo's Green Spaces and Squares

Montevideo's urban landscape is defined by a diverse collection of public spaces, ranging from the historic Plaza Independencia at the edge of the Old City to the expansive Parque Batlle, home to the Centenario Stadium and the national Obelisk. The Prado neighborhood hosts specialized botanical collections, including a traditional Japanese garden and a rose garden featuring hundreds of varieties. Along the coast and within residential areas, parks like Rodó and Rivera provide large lakes and wooded recreational zones, while colonial squares like Plaza Matriz showcase 18th-century architecture.
