Montevideo
Montevideo is the capital city of Uruguay, on the east bank of the Rio de la Plata. Though sometimes overlooked beside nearby Buenos Aires, Montevideo is a significant city in its own right: it's the cultural and political center of the country, home to 1.3 million people in 2011, more than ten times the size of the next largest Uruguayan city.Photo: Ypsilon from Finland, CC0.
