Capilla Farruco, Colonial chapel in Durazno Department, Uruguay

Capilla Farruco is a stone chapel located between two streams in Durazno Department. The building has thick stone walls constructed from cut blocks and features decorative metal grids characteristic of colonial rural architecture.

Built in 1782 on land belonging to Francisco Rodríguez "Farruco", the stone chapel and small fort were restored in 1960 by Juan Pivel Devoto and Aníbal Barrios Pintos. On 10 March 1797 José Gervasio Artigas joined the Blandengue army at this spot, and he lodged and prayed here while awaiting news from Montevideo's governor Olaguer y Feliú.

The name Farruco comes from Francisco Rodríguez, on whose land the chapel was built. Since 2001 the site has hosted the annual Romería Internacional "Fiesta de la Hermandad Hispano-Uruguaya", a festival that draws thousands of visitors and locals each year.

Capilla Farruco lies on Ruta 6 at the Camino San José de las Cañas, between the Las Cañas and Cordobés streams, 59 km from Sarandí del Yí. It is reached by road, so a vehicle is needed; the rural setting has no facilities, and visitors should bring water and supplies.

The site hosts a major annual pilgrimage festival that brings visitors from across the region and beyond. This modern spiritual gathering has transformed the small chapel into an important destination for religious travelers.
