Legislative Palace
The impressive neo-classical Legislative Palace, built in the
early 20th century, features four architecturally breathtaking
facades oriented towards the four cardinal points, each decorated
with bronze sculptures in turn representing Law, Justice, Science
and Labour. It is particularly attractive when floodlight at night.
The interior is just as awe-inspiring, housing some significant
works of art, and guided tours are offered in English and
Spanish.
Information & Facts
Language

Money
The official currency of Uruguay is the Uruguayan Peso (UYU),
but US Dollars are also accepted by some tourist businesses,
retailers and taxi drivers. The peso is divided into 100
centécimos. Currency can be exchanged at banks and Money Exchange
Shops, which both offer similar exchange rates. Exchange rates tend
to fluctuate frequently. There are plenty of ATMs available in
shopping centres and attached to banks in commercial areas, but not
all cards are accepted. Credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard,
American Express and Diners Club, are widely accepted by shops and
restaurants. Travellers cheques are easiest to exchange if in US
Dollars.
