Neighborhoods of Montevideo
- Neighborhoods of Montevideo
Montevideo is the capital of the Republic of Uruguay. Its nearly 1.5 million inhabitants live in different barrios, each with its own identity, geographic location and activities appropriate to the socio-cultural level of its inhabitants.
Many areas of the city that are now considered barrios had geographically independent populations, later absorbed into the growing city. This is the case with Sayago, Pocitos, and others. Some grew out of industrial areas, such as Cerro and the neighbors of Nuevo París, and others by the construction of complete, large-scale residential neighborhoods, such as Euskal Erría in Malvín Norte and Parque Posadas in the Prado.
