Molino de Perez, Watermill in Malvín, Montevideo, Uruguay.

Molino de Perez is a stone and brick watermill located near Rambla O'Higgins in Malvín. Large windows on the facade allow visitors to see the grinding mechanisms that operated across two levels.

Merchant Juan María Pérez built the mill in 1840 using water from the Malvin stream to grind wheat from nearby farmland. A reconstruction in 1950 by Horacio Arredondo introduced structural changes to the original design.

The mill's cultural life began after 1895, when floods ended grinding. In 1961 the building housed the Museo Figari, devoted to Pedro Figari, who had painted the mill as part of the Montevideo landscape. From 2009 to 2014 it held the Museo Vivo de la Alimentación, run by the Cámara Nacional de la Alimentación, and the Asociación de Pintores y Escultores del Uruguay staged exhibitions and art activities there.

The mill sits in Parque Baroffio between Malvín and Punta Gorda neighborhoods, within easy reach of the waterfront area. The large windows make it possible to view the interior workings from outside the building.

The 1950 modifications were specifically designed so that visitors could observe the working grinding mechanisms from outside. This turned the mill into a structure that connected industrial function with public viewing.
