Arco de Salinas, Concrete arch gate in Salinas, Uruguay.
The white concrete structure spans 10.8 meters in width and extends 24 meters in length at the entrance of Avenida Julieta.
Architect Omar Ariasi designed the arch in 1954 following a request from notary Hildebrando Berenguer to mark the entrance of the coastal city.
The tower section features ceramic tiles depicting local elements such as pine trees, the obelisk, and albatrosses representing the regional fauna.
The monument underwent complete renovation in 2012, including waterproofing, paint restoration, and installation of new electrical systems for night illumination.
A fountain stands at the base of the tower where residents toss coins following a local tradition of making wishes.
