Cuartel Centenario, Fire station in Cordón, Montevideo, Uruguay

Cuartel Centenario is a fire station occupying an entire city block in central Montevideo, bounded by Colonia, Mercedes, Minas, and Magallanes streets. The complex combines active fire departments with a museum documenting firefighting history.

The fire station was planned from 1922, when the project was presented to the General Assembly, and President José Serrato approved the partial construction plans on 18 December 1924. It replaced the old Cuartel de la plaza Artola, which collapsed after being bombarded during the 1898 revolutionary attempt against President Lindolfo Cuestas. Architect Alfredo R. Campos designed the building, inaugurated on 18 July 1930 for the centenary of the Jura de la Constitución.

The building houses active fire departments and a museum dedicated to the history of firefighting in Uruguay. Visitors can observe the work of firefighters and learn about their evolution through the country's story.

The main entrance is located at the intersection of Colonia and Minas streets, with the address range from Colonia 1665 to 1691. The site is easily accessible on foot, and the complex's facade is clearly visible from surrounding streets.

The site previously held the Cuartel de la plaza Artola, which collapsed after being bombarded on 4 July 1898 during the revolutionary attempt to overthrow President Lindolfo Cuestas. The present building was designed by architect Alfredo Campos and inaugurated on 18 July 1930, the centenary of the Jura de la Constitución.
