CASA DE LAVALLEJA
This 1783 building was bought by General Juan Antonio de Lavalleja who died there in 1853. His descendants donated the house to the municipality, which converted it into a museum to honor its owner. The museum exhibits objects from the period 1825-1828, when the country was fighting against Brazil. There is a series of engravings by the famous Juan Manuel Besnes e Irigoyen relating the national history, a collection of "gauchesques" objects and personal objects of the general (including his wife's lavish travel kit...)
