Montevideo**

The "Ciudad Vieja" ("Old City") is the name given to colonial Montevideo; nowadays the centre of the city. It encloses many of the main attractions of the city. The area was enclosed by a wall, which was demolished in 1829, except for its main gate on Plaza Independencia. Beyond the attractions, the area is worthy also of an aimless walk. The cobble stoned streets tastefully blend with the surrounding buildings, most of them dating back to the early twentieth century or even to the nineteenth. Coffee shops and restaurants feature high, old fashioned, ceilings and act as a reminder of the early 20th century prosperity.
