The district's centerpiece is Plaza Independencia, featuring palm-lined streets and the solemn Mausoleo Jose Artigas, topped with a 30-ton statue of the nation's hero. Close to Plaza Independencia, you'll discover the Palacio Salvo and the Puerta de la Ciudadela. Museum enthusiasts will appreciate the collections at the Museo de la Historia del Arte and the Museo del Carnaval, which chronicles Montevideo's century-long love affair with Carnaval.
