El Águila, Stone building in Villa Argentina, Uruguay.
The stone structure features a design combining an eagle head and a dolphin body, standing prominently on a cliff overlooking the beach.
Italian businessman Natalio Michelizzi commissioned builder Juan Torres to construct this architectural work in 1945 as a private residence.
The building represents a fusion of architectural styles, incorporating natural elements and local craftsmanship through its hand-carved stone construction.
Visitors can access El Águila from 9:00 to 19:30 during summer months and from 9:00 to 18:00 during winter, with free admission.
The structure includes a large ship-shaped terrace supported by the cliff, connecting to the beach through an integrated staircase.
