Peatonal Sarandí
Peatonal Sarandí is the main pedestrian street of Ciudad Vieja in Montevideo, Uruguay, and the most frequented tourist venue of the city. It starts from the Ciudadela, runs along Plaza Constitución and ends at the Rambla, at the eastern end of Ciudad Vieja. As an extension of this street is the long southern breakwater of the Port of Montevideo, which has taken on the name "Escollera Sarandí".
Many buildings of architectural value are to be seen along Peatonal Sarandí, as well as art galleries and many shops and businesses. Some of its landmarks are the Edificio Pablo Ferrando, which is next to the Museo Torres García, the Plaza Fuerte Hotel, the Club Uruguay on Plaza Constitución, the Cabildo, which houses the municipal archive of the city and is also a national monument and museum, and the Montevideo Metropolitan Cathedral, commonly known as Iglesia Matriz, which also gives to the square the popular naming Plaza Matriz.
