The 5 Best Sights & Landmarks in Pocitos, Montevideo Department
Montevideo, a port city and the capital of Uruguay, is a perfect destination for travelers looking for a relaxing stroll past colonial era buildings and along beautiful beaches. The Ciudadela Gateway, the only remaining section of the wall that once surrounded the entire city, now serves as the entrance to Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo's oldest neighborhood. Home to churches, museums, and theaters, at night the area comes alive with nightclubs playing Tango and Candombe music for crowds of dancers.

This is a very popular tourist attraction as everyone wants their picture taken here with the backdrop of the beach and skyline. It is located in the bay area of Pocitos. The sign often changes colors as it is painted to support different causes.
