Dock

Closed for renovations as of October 2017. Here you can see everyday objects from the Spanish era, the late 18th century.

Showcases numerous artifacts, mostly from the indigenous population of the area.

The oldest church in Uruguay. Constructed by the Portuguese in 1808, but the first church on this place was built in the 1690s.

Next to the basilica and several restaurants, this square includes the ruins of the former governor's house (Casa del Gobernador), with signs explaining the different rooms.

The house was built by the Portuguese in the 18th century and called "Casa de Palacios". The museum shows documents from the various epochs in Colonia's history.

Reconstructed somewhat on the ruins of the original building. Don't miss the whale skeleton on display just to the west of it!
