Tour
This sightseeing tour, which concentrates on the historical points of interest of the city of Maldonado should be done on foot, as traffic in Maldonado tends to be heavy. We have chosen to start from the Cachimba del Rey. The Cachimba was a colonial watering point, its name meaning "the King's well".

Following the Calle de la Virgen towards the west we'll come across the Fire Brigade general headquarters, the Municipal Campus and the Maldonado High School.

On reaching Roman Guerra Street we can turn to the right, turning left on Rafael Pérez del Puerto Street up to Sarandí Street. This street is the main commercial street of Maldonado. On Sarandí we will find the Casa de la Cultura (Culture House).

On the left hand of Sarandí street is the Ramírez School .

On reaching Ituzaingó Street, turning to the left is the Mazzoni Museum.

Still on Ituzaingó, we can turn left towards 18 de Julio Street towards Maldonado Cathedral.

This is the center of Maldonado, and looking around we can see the San Fernando Square, the Police Headquarters and the Paseo San Fernando, formerly the army headquarters. Here we can clearly appreciate the Spanish colonial style of architecture.

Following 18 de Julio we will come up to the Dragons' Barracks, another reminder of Maldonado's colonial past.

From here we shall take Rafael Perez del Puerto Street up to the Plaza del Vigía, the end of our tour.

This square also dates from the colonial period, and its tower was the watch tower for surveillance of the area.

At the same place we can appreciate one of the three San Ildelfonso Treaty marks know as "Marco de los Reyes" .
