Torre el Gaucho, Commercial tower in Cordón, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The 95-meter Torre el Gaucho rises 27 floors above Constituyente Avenue at the junction of 18 de Julio Avenue in Montevideo.
Architect Walter Pintos Risso designed the building in 1974, but construction extended until its completion in 1995 during Uruguay's modernization period.
The tower takes its name from a bronze monument of a mounted gaucho positioned in the small plaza in front of the building.
Multiple radio broadcasting stations utilize the tower's antenna system, making it a central point for media communications in Montevideo.
The building's structure marks a curved section of 18 de Julio Avenue, creating a visual reference point visible from Plaza Independencia.
