History
editIn 1982 the embassy was opened in a nine-story building on Las Heras Avenue in the Recoleta neighborhood.[3] However, in 2012, President José Mujica ordered the relocation of the mission, alleging high maintenance costs for the building.[4] The functions of the embassy were transferred to the residence of the ambassador, while the consulate was installed in the building of the Buenos Aires branch of Banco de la República Oriental del Uruguay.[5]
Since June 19, 2018, the embassy and consulate general have operated in their current location, in a neoclassical building built in 1913.[6]
Ambassador's residence
editThe residence of the Uruguayan ambassador to Argentina has been located in the Villa del Parque neighborhood since December 1948.[7] In a rationalist style, it was designed by the Hungarian architect Jorge Kalnay in the 1930s.[8]
