Capital of Uruguay is Montevideo 

Languages: Spanish, Portunol, and Brazilero

Montevideo: Montevideo reflects its cultural diversity clearly in its architecture - Art Deco, colonial Spanish and Italian stiles are the norm. Welcome yourself to the sandy beaches where many Argentines retreat on vacation, or start off in Ciudad Vieja, the old colonial core of the city, where you can see the fort Cerro de Montevideo across the harbor, or the Plaza Independencia with it's statue to José Gervasio Artigas, the national liberator and hero, and its noon-time changing of the guard
