With a hight of 26 stories Palacio Salvo once used to be the highest building in South America. It was built between 1922 and 1928 by the italian architect Mario Palanti in Art Deco-style. It is no palace at all, just a building with various shops, bureaus and appartments.
You will see Palacio Salvo already from the upperdecks of your cruiseship, when in the port of Montevideo (see my 2nd picture). Leave a Comment Directions: Palacio Salvo is at the east side of Plaza Independencia, you simply cannot miss it !

 Palacio Salvo by andal13
Inaugurated in 1928, this building created by Italian architect Mario Palanti was once the highest building in South America.
El Palacio Salvo no es solamente una "Actividad que se debe ver" sino que es un "imposible no verlo". Este edificio (no es un palacio en lo más mínimo) está ubicado frente a nuestra plaza principal (Plaza Independencia) y es el símbolo de Montevideo. Yo no sé si me gusta o no, pero estoy segura que no puedo imaginar mi ciudad sin él.
Inaugurado en 1928, este edificio creado por el arquitecto italiano Mario Palanti fue en su época el edificio más alto de América del Sur. Leave a Comment

Palacio Salvo was once considered the symbol of the Montevideo as well as the tallest building located within South America. Though it no longer holds that distinction, it still remains the tallest building in the city. Leave a Comment Directions: East side of Plaza Independencia

Palacio Salvo is the 26-storey skyscraper which dominates the skyline of Montevideo. It was designed by the architect Mario Palanti, an Italian immigrant living in Buenos Aires, and constructed between 1925 and 1928. It has an eclectic mixture of styles, including Art Deco and Italian Gothic.
The building was originally intended to be a hotel, but this plan fell through and it has since been occupied by a mixture of offices and private residences. The building itself is 95 metres high, but 100 metres with the antenna. For decades it was the tallest building in South America. Just in case you wondered, the tallest building on the continent now is the 221-metre-high Parque Central Complex in Caracas.
Palacio Salvo may no longer be the tallest building in South America, but it is still the most popular image on postcards of Montevideo and remains a national icon for Uruguayans. I personally think it's one of the great pre-war skyscrapers, on a par with New York's Chrysler Building. Leave a Comment Directions: East side of Plaza Independencia
