Uruguay

Cultural Background

Countries are a reflection of their cultural patrimony. This is the reason for this panoramic look on some of the manifestations that make up the Uruguayan patrimony, which is made of its historical legacy, Christian and European and with the indigenous roots which emerge from its native soil. Ever since its birth, the young Uruguayan nation had curiosity for intellectual and spiritual matters, outlining its cultural profile through its sons who outstood in the fields of thought, literature, arts and sciences. Although it would be fair to name many illustrious figures of our national artistic circles, this synthesis only allows us to include some of them, the most illustrious ones whose work is still recognized not only in the national sphere but also out of borders.
