Palacio Díaz, Art Deco building on Avenida 18 de Julio, Montevideo, Uruguay
The Palacio Díaz extends over 17 floors, featuring geometric patterns and vertical lines that characterize its Art Deco architectural design on its exterior walls.
Architects Gonzalo Vázquez Barrière and Rafael Ruano completed the construction of this prominent structure in 1929, marking a period of urban development in Montevideo.
The ground floor of the building housed Radio Carve's auditorium in the 1940s, where Uruguay's first closed-circuit television experiments took place in 1945.
Located between Yaguarón and Ejido streets at Avenida 18 de Julio 1333, the building underwent extensive facade restoration work between 2011 and 2012.
The structure follows a stepped volumetric configuration that creates a tower effect, incorporating both American and French architectural influences in its design.
