Colonia del Sacramento was founded in 1680 by the Portuguese, and the Spaniards took hold of it in 1681. After that the government of Buenos Aires was in charge in 1705 and in 1735 the city was sieged by the Spaniards for two years. In 1756 begins the "War of the seven years" and in 1826 Colonia suffered a bombardment by the Argentineans, until finally in December of 1828, it was released to the Uruguayan army.
It is considered the most beautiful city in Uruguay, due to the Historical Town and its museums, the 'Plaza Mayor' with its restaurants, the 'Iglesia Matriz' (the oldest church in Uruguay), and its lighthouse, which you will find perfect for sightseeing: the old city, the beaches, the countryside and the national parks.
