Casa Matriz del Banco República
Casa Matriz del Banco República, Neoclassical bank headquarters in Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The main building of Banco República exhibits grand columns, symmetrical shapes, and decorative sculptures across its imposing stone facade at Ciudad Vieja district.
Italian architect Giovanni Veltroni designed this financial institution in 1934, marking a period when Uruguay was establishing its banking infrastructure.
The exterior sculptures, created by José Luis Zorrilla de San Martín in the 1940s, include a representation of national hero José Gervasio Artigas.
