Parque Rodó

Parque Rodó is both a barrio (neighbourhood or district) of Montevideo, Uruguay and a park which lies mostly outside the limits of the barrio itself and belongs to Punta Carretas. The name "Rodó" has been given in memory of José Enrique Rodó, an important Uruguayan writer whose monument is in the southern side of the main park.

The barrio[edit]

Parque Rodó barrio shares borders with Palermo to the west, Cordón to the north, Pocitos to the east and Punta Carretas to the east and south. Directly west of the main park area, is the former Parque Hotel, now the Mercosur building, which houses the Mercosur Secretariat of the Mercosur Parliament.[1] It is also home to the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture of the Universidad de la República. The pocket neighbourhood Barrio Jardín is part of this barrio. On the east side of the main park area is the National Museum of visual Arts.
