Located in the old town of Montevideo, this public square is dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights. The site features a triangular granite monument that serves as a memorial and a space for reflection on the history of sexual diversity and human rights.

Getting There

The square is situated within the city center, making it easily accessible on foot from most central hotels and landmarks. Depending on your starting point in the downtown area, the walk typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes.
