Casa de Rivera, Montevideo, National Historical Museum in Ciudad Vieja, Uruguay
The Casa de Rivera stands as a neoclassical building from 1802, featuring an octagonal bay window and two levels of historical exhibitions.
The residence belonged to General Fructuoso Rivera, the first constitutional president of Uruguay, who owned the property between 1834 and 1849.
The museum presents an extensive collection of paintings, documents, and artifacts that illustrate Uruguay's social development from independence to the early 1900s.
Located at Rincón 437 in Montevideo, the museum welcomes visitors from Thursday to Sunday between 12:00 and 18:00, with guided tours available.
The building underwent significant modifications in 1940 when architects Ítalo Dighiero and Beltrán Arbeleche adapted the space for museum purposes.
