Palacio Salvo

a2.jpgPalacio Salvo is not only a “must see activity”; it is an “imposible not to see”. This building (not a palace at all) is situated in front of our main square (Plaza Independencia) and is the symbol of Montevideo. I do not know if I like it or not, but I am sure that I can not imagine my city without it. Inaugurated in 1928, this building created by Italian architect Mario Palanti was once the highest building in South America. El Palacio Salvo no es solamente una “Actividad que se debe ver” sino que es un “imposible no verlo”. Este edificio (no es un palacio en lo más mínimo) está ubicado frente a nuestra plaza principal (Plaza Independencia) y es el símbolo de Montevideo. Yo no sé si me gusta o no, pero estoy segura que no puedo imaginar mi ciudad sin él. Inaugurado en 1928, este edificio creado por el arquitecto italiano Mario Palanti fue en su época el edificio más alto de América del Sur.
