Housetown
Casapueblo, the masterpiece of Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, is much more than just a museum. This building, which looks like a fusion between a Mediterranean castle and a sculpture, is a tribute to the artist's art and life. With panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Casapueblo offers a complete sensory experience, especially at sunset, when the sun dips into the sea in a spectacle of colors that leaves everyone present breathless.
Ralli Museum
In the heart of Beverly Hills, one of the most elegant neighborhoods in Punta del Este, lies the Ralli Museum. This cultural space houses an impressive collection of contemporary Latin American art, with works by established and emerging artists.

The Atchugarry Museum of Contemporary Art (MACA) is another hotspot for art lovers. Founded by sculptor Pablo Atchugarry, this museum offers a space where contemporary visual arts meet nature. Permanent and temporary exhibitions provide an in-depth look at contemporary art, not only from Uruguay but from around the world.
