COLONIA DEL SACRAMENTO: Founded in 1680 by Manuel Lobo, it was
declared as a "World Heritage" by the UNESCO.-
It's like a jewel of the colonial epoch, which preserves the enchantment
of the old times.-
It can be noticed in its houses of tiles, mud and stone in Spanish
an Portuguese styles. Today they are restored and painted in bright
colors. Among its walls you can find warm hotels such as "Plaza
Mayor".-
You can feel a nostalgic air that gives off from its paved streets,
the yellow lanterns hanging in the doors, the flowery flowerpots
standing in the windows and a lonely lighthouse looking over the
river which surrounds the old city. A real charm that equally
captures filmmakers, international artists, tourists and couples
in love.-
The Old City: although it was founded in 1680 by the Portuguese,
it still preserves part of its original buildings, ramaining its
defensive wall and narrow streets which wriggle in the search
of the river.-
Walking along the paved streets is like going through a poetical
space.
