Capilla Farruco, Colonial chapel in Durazno Department, Uruguay

The chapel stands between Las Cañas and Cordobés streams, constructed with stone blocks featuring Spanish architectural elements and metal grids.

Built in 1782 on Francisco Rodriguez's property, this chapel served as a strategic location where José Gervasio Artigas joined the Blandengues Army in 1797.

The chapel holds religious ceremonies and represents the fusion of Spanish colonial influence with local Uruguayan architectural traditions from the 18th century.

Located along Route 6 and San José de las Cañas Road, the chapel sits several kilometers from Sarandí del Yí city.

Since 2001, the site hosts the International Pilgrimage Festival of Hispanic-Uruguayan Brotherhood, drawing thousands of visitors annually.
