Club Uruguay is a gentlemen's club located in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The club was founded in 1878 as a merger between the Casino de Comercio, whose members belonged to the business elite, and Club Libertad, which was a social haunt of the traditional upper-class. [1]
Club Uruguay is based in a historic building in the old city that faces Constitution Square. [2] The building is architecturally significant. [3] Designed by Italian engineer Luigi Andreoni, it reflects renaissance, mannerist and baroque influences over its three floors. [2]
It was declared a National Historic Monument in 1975. [4]
