Plaza Independencia is the most important square in Montevideo, Uruguay, serving as a significant historical and cultural landmark. It marks the boundary between the Ciudad Vieja (Old City) and the downtown area. Dominated by the impressive statue and mausoleum of General José Artigas, a national hero, the plaza is surrounded by notable buildings such as the Solís Theatre and the Executive Tower. The iconic Palacio Salvo, once the tallest building in South America, also overlooks the square.
