Museo Romántico of Montevideo, Historical mansion museum in Ciudad Vieja, Uruguay
The neoclassical building features marble floors, detailed woodwork, and high ceilings arranged around a central square courtyard in downtown Montevideo.
Built in 1778 by Bernardo de la Torre, the mansion underwent significant renovations in 1830 when Antonio Montero commissioned architect Jose Toribio to expand it.
The museum exhibits numerous paintings, furniture, and decorative objects illustrating the social conditions of Montevideo's upper class between 1830 and 1900.
Located at 25 de Mayo 428, the museum opens Thursday through Sunday from noon until 6 PM under the management of the National Historical Museum.
The mansion earned the name Palace of Marble due to its extensive use of imported marble materials throughout the residence during the 1830s renovation.
